Fragments of Reality is a sustainable site-specific installation at Stortorget that works all hours of the day without electric energy. It uses small mirrors and the wind to reflect the environment – the natural light during the day and the artificial light of the city lamps at night. It changes every time you look at it, depending on the point of view, on the wind, and on the moment of the day. Sometimes it is almost invisible, sometimes it is full of waving flashes. It is a delicate and contemplative work, magic in its simplicity.

Fragment of Reality is a work with multiple levels of reading. Different interpretations can be made by exploring the notion of perception: the visible and invisible, the reflection of light and mind. The artwork permits us to perceive invisible natural dynamics such as the wind and the way natural components combine and fragments in our daily realities. This work aims to stimulate and exercise the imagination, using the sky as a background, which historically has been a place people look to when asking large questions and chasing great discoveries.

Nobel Prize Laureates’ in their acceptance speeches frequently begin by thanking their teams, their partners and all of those in their context who enabled their work and discoveries. This artwork, like the Laureates, relies on the light and dynamics of it’s context to bring forward something truly brilliant.

Installation is supported by: The Italian Cultural Institute and the Italian Embassy in Stockholm
