Jeppe Hein
June 2nd, 2008Jeppe Hein is a Danish artist working in Copenhagen and Berlin. His work is just the style I like, so I picked out 3 installations by him.
‘Changing Neon Sculpture‘ is a good alternative to the many 3D LED cubes out there.
‘Self-Destructing Wall‘, the description sounds like I would to see a video of it.
A large wooden wall is built up in a space almost blocking the entry. Slowly, the metal structure within the wooden wall starts to move, pushing it against the wall of the space, breaking the wood and pushing the wall together like an accordion, thus entirely destroying the wall. In the beginning more than four metres long, the wall ends up with approximately 50 cm length after one day, leaving splintered wood on the ground of the space, giving the room a somewhat rough appearance that is kept until the end of the exhibition.
‘Mirror Neon Cube‘, I guess the title says it all.
You can find more of his work here.
