Ana Oosting - Breaking Waves
Oosting is not only an artist, but also a neurobiologist. This unique combination typifies the core of her work. She views the world through the lenses of both art and science. Her research-based and site-specific installations invite you to explore non-human perspectives. They have an immersive character, encouraging the viewer to actively connect with the work.
Especially for the museum, Ana Oosting creates a site-specific installation of ten large creatures that seem to float effortlessly through the air. Through hyper-precise folding, the artist makes them come to life, embodying the idea that even non-living matter can act, instead of being merely subject to human will. In space, an enchanting seascape unfolds that may seem familiar. This familiarity is no accident. Ana Oosting worked with scientists to mimic the wave patterns of the nearby North Sea. This is accompanied by a haunting melody - perhaps reminiscent of a whale's song, the whisper of coastal wind or the thundering sound of waves crashing against the shore. Conservator: Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen.
