About

Parfyme is a four person collective. We are spread across Copenhagen, Bergen and New York.

Parfyme (perfume) has developed and carried out several projects in the public space for the last eight years. We focus our interest in practical research, activities and ‘immediate’ actions carried out - without too much planning (at least, compared to how architects, politicians (among others) plan and work!). We see art as a tool that can be used for many things: as an "excuse" for personal contributions to our surroundings, a way to communicate serious issues, simple fun and good deeds!
