Jeppe Hein

You are never really allone

König Galerie

Nave of St. Agnes.

Hein places the viewer at the center of experience and use simple forms to shift the perception of space.

In this exhibition, he reworks his mirror balloon sculptures as penguins that have floated from the ceiling to the ground. Their highly polished surfaces reflect and distort the surrounding architecture and the viewer, while the balloon form shifts from abstract volume to a body oscillating between weight and lightness. The figures appear suspended in stillness, as if they have drifted into the building from another environment.
