exhibition on tour
»Everything you can imagine is real«
This exhibition was a huge success in the Swedish Museum of Movement. Afterwards the exhibition toured to Berlin where Her Swedish Majesty the Queen inaugurated it. As a number of cities has shown their interest this exhibition will continue its tour.
With scissors, tape, string and thousands of paper sheets, Bea Szenfeld has created extraordinarily unpractical creations that together form
»Haute Papier« – The White Collection. The handmade costumes have been worn by artists such as Lady Gaga, Laleh and dancers, singers and musicians from The Royal Swedish Opera.
A ballerina swinging in a chandelier, musicians among hundreds of travelling bags, singers dressed in the costumes of Bea Szenfeld and other surreal scenes are also shown in the exhibition. These are images by KAROLINA HENKE, CARL THORBORG and STINA WIRSÉN, created for and in collaboration with THE ROYAL SWEDISH OPERA.
POMPE HEDENGREN, creative director at STOCKHOLM GRAPHICS, has worked four years together with The Royal Swedish Opera and the photographers to create the world that the exhibition shows.
The pictures and the design has already been awarded with five international Design Awards.
exhibition information
The exhibition contains 15 pieces of paper art works by Bea Szenfeld.
The number of pieces can be fewer according to the size of the exhibition area.
On the surrounding walls photos by Karolina Henke and Carl Thorborg and illustrations by Stina Wirsén are shown on huge textile prints, same size as the walls. We customize the amount of pictures according to the size of the exhibition walls. New textiles are always printed since they need to fit perfectly on the walls.
The original exhibition area was about 230 square meters.
A professional spot light arrangement is important in order to show Beas work properly. It is best if the exhibition rooms are without day light.
The paper works need careful dry and tempered climate.
