IGLOO CONSTRUCTION II

From above:

- Kc Väst, Absolutely Free 2010

- Bygg Rec Tensta Konsthall 2009, see also Local A.

- Konstföreningen Tornet 2010

I see a meaning in letting nature deal with the man-made, therefore I let the plywood sculpture retain the raw, natural and unprotected surface. Just like the Japanese tea house architects, I see the decay as a symbol of the transmutation of things.

The sculpture is a further development of my earlier work Igloo Construction I, where I continue to create on the basis of igloo symbolic significance revolving around questions on original symbols, civilizations, materiality, environment and physical space. I use the igloo to question the speculative aspect of our beliefs about another place and for its almost metaphysical properties.

By bringing a building out of its context I let it stand out and become visible from the background.

The sculpture is also working as shelter and set design for the workshop Bygg Rec and Record Construct, please visit Local A.
