Exit or Entrance

site-specific installation Bergen (Norway) 2007

20 people from Reykjavik, Bergen and Copenhagen were invited to exhibit in bjørgvin state prison in Norway. (The prison has an open structure, allowing some inmates ones in a while to leave the prison area for a restricted period of time) The idea was to create a piece that could be seen as an image or used as an installation with interactive possibilities. By putting colourful ladders on the outside of this depressive place, i was trying to raise questions about the structures of the area, and the structured behavioral systems forced in the minds of the inmates. If you look closer on the ladders you can see that many of them not really leads towards an exit or entrance, but are floating in a space between in and out, thus staging an idea of freedom.
