Physical fittings for a mental view

A nondescript game, consisting of 35 numbered, concrete cubes, spread out over the area of the ruins of an iron factory at Salangsverket Norway.

During If Paradise Is Half As Nice #13, which took place at the Salangen Biennale II, this work was one of my contributions to the presentation weekend. 35 concrete cubes, all with a number imprinted in them, were lying in a line to begin with. Most of them were later spread over the area of the old ruins of the old factory. Why they were places and what they seemed to point out stays ambiguous. The work challenges the viewer to come up with their own reasons, rules or meanings.

year: 2023
material: 35 concrete cubes of 12x12x12 cm

During If Paradise Is Half As Nice #13, at the Salangen Biennale II in Norway, I made this video. The work displays me, reading a famous Dutch poem called ‘Herinnering aan Holland’ (Remembrance of Holland) by H. Marsman, to a Norwegian Landscape.
