Jeppe Hein: Fusion of Movement, 2004. Steel, 108 x 120 x 30 cm.
Jeppe Hein’s sculpture Fusion of Movement could refer to the illusion of movement created by the sculpture. Here the sculpture can almost seem to be a row of visually petrified snapshots of the same cube which movement through the air is caught in a serial rendering. Hein creates sculptures and installations which one can mirror in, and which actively invite the viewer to contribution and move- ment. The result are artworks that seeks dialogue, and which can be experienced in more ways than just with classical sense of sight. Hein mainly creates artworks that investigates how human con-sciousness and inner life can be affected by its surroundings.
