Trash, identity, consumption: Birke Gorm collects scrap material from her surroundings and the public dump, then sculpts, sews, and assembles, defying the speed of late capitalist society.

At the core of Gorm’s new works for her solo exhibition at O—Overgaden sits a question about the circular do’s and don’ts of public behavior—the unpicking of what’s high and what’s low, what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s trash and what’s not.
Reflecting on what rules apply when humans are trained to handle the chores of our communal spaces, dangerously
sharp materials are composed as eerie chandelier-like clusters, high-hung, far from touch, flipping their junk appearance into one of flashing glitter while hovering above a floor installation made from waste cardboard. Meanwhile, in another new series, Gorm creates a horizon of hundreds of neatly aligned dolls produced from tea towels and napkins.
