“Reflected roof” 2014

Reflected roof  by Jesper Carlsen and Akane Moriyama
Jesper Carlsen and Akane Moriyama have created a transient experience within the Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in the form of an inverted undulating roof. Responding to the temporality of the history of museum, which has been moved and reconfigured many times, this tent like space is hung on the structure of the building and creates a translucent veil. A series of fans gently manipulate the textile into a sequence of changing forms that although programmed will never exactly repeat. The daylight, cast from above, falls onto and through .the fabric and as it’s angle changes throughout the day creates ever changes in colour, shadow and reflection.
