//Afterparty: from 22 hrs @ Kødboderne 18, feat. DJs Ung Flugt, Fagget Fairys, Ladybox
Artist and designer Helle Mardahl displays “a royal orgie of consumption” during Copenhagen Fashion Week 2008. Prints, collages and sculptures together form a total-installation that gives the perception of a lavish upper-class environment. But an autonomous underworld of rebellion, misery and popular culture scratches the surface.
Helle Mardahl (1976) combines visual art and graphic fashion design. She is educated from the prestigious Central Saint Martins.
