OBJECTS AND INSTALLATIONS / Looking for a refuge

HEIMAT UTOPIA CHILDHOODGAMES IICHILDHOODGAMES I SILICONE DRAWINGS

My ambition with this work was to create a space for solitude and contemplation.
To pull the visitor from whatever mood he or she is in and from an exhibition-situation into a totally other unexpected atmosphere.
To create a personal but welcoming space, where the time more or less stands still. The only connection to the outside world is through a radio.To set the motion of calmness, slowing down the pace -and rise whatever thoughts that will come into mind in all the small details.This work is about having a permanent place where you can come and go to in between whatever your situation in life looks like.
