Jeppe Hein, Illusion (2008)

Jeppe Hein drew together the artificial construction of the fair with the natural surroundings of the park in an installation of subtly animated trees outside the entrance to the fair. Creating a visually unsettling illusion, the piece was also an encouragement to pause before the frenetic human activity inside the tent.

Jeppe Hein (b. 1974) is a Danish artist working in Copenhagen and Berlin.

Recent commissions include: Geo Centre, Møns Klint, Denmark (2008); Chiswick Park, London (2008) and ‘Private Rain’, Sculpture Pak Bodø, Norway (2005).

Group exhibition include: ‘Reconstruction # 3’, Sudeley Castle (2008); ‘The World As A Stage’, Tate Modern, London (2007) and ‘The Freak Show’, Musee d’art contemporain, Lyon (2007).
