Henrik Vibskov’s Monster Socks are knitted textile worms – soft, playful, and sculptural figures designed to house what we would otherwise throw away.

Come join us at the Monster Sock Project this thursday at CC.

16:00 Event starts – make your own sock monster

Become an active part of the project

Join the workshop and give your old clothes a new life. Bring socks, underwear, or any other soft textiles to use as filling for the creature.

A Monster Sock costs DKK 290 and can be purchased both during the workshop and in CC’s museum shop until the end of September. Just want to join in? You can also contribute for free by adding to Henrik Vibskov’s large Monster Socks installation.

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.
