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.

And the eye, which was initially recommended to us as a "fried egg", hides many details, such as the fact that the mirror surfaces, reminiscent of a kaleidoscope, are by no means accidental, but were transferred from a star map.
