Threads of Time: An Evening with Stærk&Christensen
Join us for an intimate evening with Camilla Stærk and Helena Christensen, the visionary duo behind Stærk&Christensen, as they take us on a visual and narrative journey through their newly released book ‘In My Dream Last Night…’. Hosted at the elegant Carl Hansen & Søn showroom, this special event offers a glimpse into their decades-long friendship and creative partnership - one that began with a single photoshoot and evolved into a lifelong artistic dialogue.
Through a captivating book reading and conversation, Helena and Camilla will share the untold stories, moments of inspiration, and the deep creative bond that has shaped their work. From shadow to light, silence to expression, their journey is woven with artistry, intuition, and an unspoken understanding.
‘In My Dream Last Night…’, is also the name of Stærk&Christensen's ongoing short film and sound concept and the book is centered around stills from these film pieces;
a surreal cinematic exploration of personal moments, thoughts, and dreams. Collaborating with artists such as Chrysta Bell, Sean Penn, Salman Rushdie, and Trentemøller/Fritze, they have crafted a universe that moves between darkness and light, the poetic and the erotic, love and solitude. Their work across film, photography, and design captures raw emotion, physical movement, and a dreamlike sense of storytelling.
The films have been exhibited at The National Arts Club in NYC.
Following the conversation and visual journey, Camilla Stærk and Helena Christensen will be available to sign copies of their book, which will be available for purchase at the event.
