The synthesis of BIG’s architecture and the art works created by three very talented, young Danish artists will make the pavilion stand out in Shanghai, says associate professor, Dr Maria Fabricius Hansen of the New Carlsberg Foundation, one of the national partners in the Danish Expo project. 

One of Denmark’s most promising young directors Martin de Thurah has made the first exhibition chapter of the Danish pavilion, Tales of how we live. In three short films he paints an impressionistic picture of Denmark and the Danes.

Contemporary art photographer Peter Funch has produced the second exhibition chapter in the Danish pavilion, Tales of what we love. In his work, he transcends the boundaries between fantasy and reality in a visual search for unexpected tales about human beings.
