Kretslopp
An exhibition about the cycle of nature.
Sculptures and ”paintings”
Galleri Knabro, Copenhagen 1994
Description:
I was interested in the resemblance between nature and human being, the way everything bloom and come to an end, decomposes to give new life. A cycle where human being is just a part and under the same premisses as nature.
First room: Three empty basins and three boxes filled with belongings from people.
In the second room six basins were standing on the floor, looking clean and beautiful at distance. They were filled with traces from human being.
On the wall, human ”paintings” (hair and paraffin on glass), corresponding to the leaf-paintings in the third room.
Third room: ”Leaf-paintings” – leaves pasted on tin trays.
In the backyard: a bath filled with leaves and two chairs. A moment of contemplation for the visitors.
