Landningsplats means landing. A place to land or to take off from. A place for beginnings or a special place to come back to, again and again. Often, I take inspiration from play. The way children play to discover the world, to explore. Landningsplats is a reminder of play and discovering.
The 5 light sculptures on poles together form a cloud of light and color. Ready to take off, or to sit back down to the ground? They are floating on different heights, and all have an slightly individual direction. Still interacting with each other.
The pavilion is organic, irregular and appears to be changing when you move around it.
On the ground next to the light volumes there is a sculpture in polished stainless steel. The ground sculpture reflects light and stand in contrast to the warm light volume. The bubbling shape is climber friendly, giving children the opportunity to explore, shape and create their own worlds.
The sculpture is a challenge, it balances on the limit of what is possible, impossible?
The relationship between the forms, the materials is reinforced by the different qualities of the seasons. Heat, cold, rain, sunshine or snow – the artwork changes. The surroundings are made part of the installation through the mirroring ground sculpture.
The artwork is a miniature landscape, a symbol of the great world. The world as a whole, and just this place interacting with the world around it.
