BAROQUE BAROQUE

Steel, brass, mirror
90 x 500 x 250 cm, ø 6.5 cm


Half of a circular brass ring, five meters in diameter, hovers over the parquet floor with its open side touching a mirrored partition that intersects the rooms of the Winter Palace in Vienna. The reflection visually completes the circular form, producing a virtual ring that appears to pass from the actual space into the reflected space, uncannily traversing the surface of the mirror image.


*1967 in Copenhagen, Denmark | Living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark and Berlin, Germany
