    Hiking

    A really exciting work of art by the Danish artist Jeppe Hein, from 2020.

    With a height of 8 meters and a width of 5 meters, it is already an impressive sight, but it is also worth reading the history of the work of art in detail.

    With the ability to go "into" the eye, Jeppe enables the viewer to quake themselves to the metaphorical center of the universe and gain a new perspective on things, while at the same moment losing sight of the artwork itself.

    Hiking

    A wonderful work of art; it invites you to climb on it and play around with it.
