Under the Same Sky
2026, Project proposal for a public art for Strandveiparken, realised in close competition for Trondheim Kommune, Norway,
in collaboration with Monika Raźny
A democratic sculpture for humans and non-humansUnder the Same Sky is a democratic sculpture for humans and non-humans. The sculpture is rooted in care and offers space for agency, interacting, connecting, playing and rest. It is space that can be used. Where everyday rituals meet with imagination. The sculpture is built from recycled concrete modules with shapes of simple geometric forms. The basic module is a cubical 50 x 50 x 50 cm and the entire sculpture is built upon the grid of 50 x 50 cm squares. The sculpture is 7 meters long and 4,5 meters wide, with height varying from ground level to 3,5 meters. The surface of the sculpture is inspired by Floridakysten, the non-existent today shoreline. Some of the modules have materials from the shore embedded within them: shells and stones of diverse sizes. There are also relief drawings on the surfaces depicting species that inhabit the shoreline in Trondheim, as well as their imprinted traces. These tactile surfaces encourage touch and curiosity. These surface elements will be developed in collaboration with people from the neighbourhood during communal walks by the sea and workshops. The entire sculpture is divided into 4 main zones, dedicated respectively to humans, plants, birds and insects. In each zone the sculpture and its surface constitute the spaces that serve as frames for activity and rest. The zones are interconnected and support one another in their function.
