IN THE GRAY AREA
The Museum of Design and Ap-
plied Art’s exhibition at Design-
March 2011 features Hrafnhildur
Arnardóttir, aka Shoplifter. By
basing her works on human hair,
Shoplifter has set her mark on
the art world. More than base
material, the symbolic world and
meaning of hair are an integral
aspect of her visual creation. While
constituting a vital part of our
identity, and inextricably linked to
ideas of vanity and attractiveness,
hair can also stir unease—an indis-
pensable device for conjuring dark
imagery and dreadful characters
surrounded by mystique.
That fine thread, hair, is ever more
apparent in the works of Shoplifter.
She has collaborated with numer-
ous prominent designers and art-
ists, since her works exemplify the
three pillars of fashion: sophistica-
tion, provocation and excess. The
last one can often be attributed to
profound personal interpretation
of artists and designers, where
absolute control over fabric, colour
and form is achieved. Shoplifter
is very popular within the fashion
world, for example teaming up
with renowned New York based
stylist Edda Guðmundsdóttir. Fur-
thermore, her collaboration with
Björk for the cover of her album
‘Medúlla’, is exemplary of the way
her art and design transcends
genres. Shoplifter’s clothing,
masks and sculptures are unques-
tionably made from unconven-
tional material, thereby answering
the growing demand for recycling
and eco-consciousness. Moreover,
her works shed light on society’s
ambiguous boundaries. The norms
and customs of one culture can be
rejected elsewhere; the concept of
the beautiful and the grotesque,
and the path that connects them,
is often paved with lighthearted-
ness and humour.
