Commission for an office building.
Nonneseter, Bergen, Norway.
Project for the entrance hall - 2008.

The northern

When you pass by a naked or nearly naked tree you may
experience
the constant changing of forms: trunk, branches and twigs always entering new constellations.
You believe you
observe the tree, but what you sense is really the movement
of the body in space: Yourself.
This building houses the regional tax offices.
Their work
constitutes a complicated system.
I wanted to make a kind of system, too, but also to give it
some life-giving features of a tree: making the visitor want
to
move in space, to look through it, to walk around,
to look more.
Seeing the consequences of his or hers own steps.
Walking around the form one experiences different
constellations
in a lively interplay between coloured overlapping stripes.
