    Hiking

    In 2009 the Danish artist Jeppe Hein installed twelve white benches, the so-called “modified social benches”, in Camp Reinsehlen. Partly abstract, twisted and defective, these benches only partially invite you to take a seat. Rather, they want to encourage the viewer to think and look closely.

    Hiking

    Jeppe Hein's art project is called Parcours.

    A total of 13 different objects, reminiscent of park benches but defying any conventional description as either sculptures or benches, are on display here.

    They are transformed.

    The Loop Bench, which looks like a roller coaster, marks the beginning.

    An information panel explains the story behind it.
