Bodies in the art of Rikke Villadsen

with Rikke Villadsen

chair Giorgio Vasta

In the comics of Danish cartoonist Rikke Villadsen, genres and narrative styles are constantly questioned, bodies become metaphors to depict a world in which beauty and horror, matter and thought, trivial and spiritual are intertwined. Villadsen accompanies us through her - ever disrupting -  work together with Italian writer and journalist Giorgio Vasta.
