Henrik Vibskov’s Monster Socks are knitted textile worms – soft, playful, and sculptural figures designed to house what we would otherwise throw away.Come, have a drink and join us in celebrating the Monster Sock Project this thursday at Copenhagen Contemporary (14. August - 16-21)
Become an active part of the project
Join the opening workshop and bring your old clothes (socks, underwear or whatever) to be used as filling in your very own textile worm – which you’ll shape yourself and take home. FREE for the first 50 participants.
After the opening the Monster Socks will be available for purchase (already filled with shredded textile) for 290kr and will be available at the Copenhagen Contemporary museum store until September.
Keep up with the Monster Sock Project for future workshops.
It’s a tangible, sensory experience where your waste is transformed into a new object. A visual and physical reminder of how much we throw away – and what it could become instead.
The project draws attention to the massive climate impact of the textile industry and the urgent need for recycling. Textile waste has only recently been given its own waste category in Denmark, and from 2025, sorting will be mandatory across the EU.
The monster worm is inspired by the earthworm – nature’s quiet recycler. It processes the dead and gives life to the new. In the same way, we hope Monster Socks can remind us that even waste can have a new beginning – and that awareness starts with an action we can feel in our hands.
The Monster Sock Project is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
