UELFE_DISPLAY, 2013

For this work, two stainless steel mirrors were mounted back-to-back on a steel frame, which was then anchored in a concrete foundation underwater at the small Uelfebad dam. The mirrors reflect the landscape, thus creating an image that is continuously changing with the seasons, weather, and light conditions. Viewers will find themselves positioned right in the picture, even if they are kept at a distance by the sculpture’s location. In this way, they are incorporated as part of the work. The “display” is a form of landscape representation – while the interactive aspect makes it contemporary, the way the work is painted, creating a sort of frame, evokes notions of traditional landscape painting.
