Icelandic Artist Creates Colorful Immersive Art Installations Using Hair

By Jessica Stewart on November 18, 2018

Icelandic artist Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir, also known as Shoplifter, uses something unusual to create her colorful art installations—hair. Using both synthetic and real hair, she creates giant fantasy landscapes and sculptures that are at once whimsical and mesmerizing. Braided, molded, brushed, and even melted, hair is layered together to create dynamic artwork that radiates energy.

모발을 이용한 예술작품

아이슬란드의 여성 아티스트는 모발을 이용해 형형색색의 예술작품을 만들어낸다.

쇼플리프터라고도 알려진 아이슬란드 예술가 Hrafnhildur Arnardotir는 그녀의 다채로운 예술 작품을 만들기 위해 특이한 뭔가를 사용합니다.

합성 머리카락과 실제 머리카락 모두를 사용하여, 그녀는 거대한 공상적 풍경과 동시에 기발하고 매력적인 조각품들을 만들어낸다.

머리를 감싸고, 성형하고, 빗질하고, 심지어 녹인 머리카락은 에너지를 발산하는 역동적인 예술작품을 만들기 위해 층을 이루고 있다

Her fascination with hair began as a child when she saw her grandmother store one of her cut-off braids in a drawer. Later, it became a way for her to explore a medium that is beautiful and comforting, yet can also spark disgust. “I find it fascinating that we have this forever changing ‘vegetation’ all over our bodies, which we have to groom and tame,” Shoplifter shared with Infringe. “Hair is a remnant of the wildness that we possess, and one of the few things that survives our existence. It’s like a shield, or alternatively it can be a way of showing yourself to the world.”

Shoplifter, who has collaborated with Björk in the past, brings whimsy and humor to her work. Her large-scale Nervescape installations see vibrant tufts of hair used to create an environment that she hopes embraces visitors. Seeing the work as a world of imaginary nerve endings, for Shoplifter the pieces are both a reflection of our internal landscape and also a fantasy meant to provide a means of escape. This playfulness is a call to remember our youth and to push positive energy into the world.

Big opportunities continue to come Shoplifter’s way. In 2019, she will represent Iceland in the Venice Biennale. The world will be waiting anxiously to see what she creates given this huge international platform.
