"Piccinini's art is inspired by science fiction, mythical folk tales and surrealism. Her imaginative, thought-provoking narratives invite us to reimagine the world. What kind of future are we headed for in a world that may not - or should not - be seen as 'ours' any longer? ARKEN presents the first major exhibition of Patricia Piccinini's works ever to be staged in the Nordic countries. This richly illustrated book introduces Piccinini's artistic endeavours through essays and an interview with the artist."--From publisher's website.
