DESCRIPTION

The project creates an interior topographic landscape as an art work in the atrium of a new building. Amplifying the penetration of natural light, the glittering white ground echoes the local Nordic landscape. The fluid topography is reminiscent of snowdrifts and of esker (glacier) valleys. The installation orchestrates three internally lit artificial mounds built out of white CNC cut plywood.
