Du er ikke alene (2022-2024)

Du er ikke alene (You are not alone) is a large scale outdoor anechoic park-like installation commissioned by the municipality of  Struer.

The installation is situated at two different locations in Struer; in front of the train station and on the corner of Østergade and Bredgade.

The pivot of the installation is the anechoic wedge known from anechoic chambers, often fetishised within soundart circles for its acoustic properties and also the very dramatic aesthetics of the anechoic chamber in general.

Wereas the fascination of the anechoic chamber often is oriented towards the idea of silence and the idea of scientific neutrality in isolation oneself from the outside world -the installation is interested in achieving the quite oposite.

Hence the outdoor sculpture park is a deconstructed anechoic chamber turned inside out and thereby letting the world in - giving up the idea of human control and neutrality. 

Usually anechoic wedges are made from anechoic foam, but in this case the wedges will be made from raw Danish pine wood, allowing insects and other species to inhabit the sculpture as well as humans.

Du er ikke alene was inaugurated in the summer of 2024.
