Ny Sol is a place-specific total installation by the artists Signe Rohardt Lund and Morten Underbjerg which unfolds across the exhibition space Sydhavn Station’s various exhibit platforms. Through materials such as wood, metal, and textiles the duo explores relations between the industrial, the domestic, and the organic.
The exhibition takes shapes as a collected installation, where sculptural elements, lights, and relief-based pictures come together in a cycle of repetitions and stagerings. In the indoor exhibit space, one meets a scenegraphic creation of standing, two dimensional sculptures that are haphazardly put together, while a backroom is brought into play by a light installation that references the dark, synthetic purple light of a grow room.
On the station’s billboard and wall of posters, the artists work with cutout shapes that overlap and create new picturesque connections.
Ny Sol circles around growth as both a physical and thematic phenomenon – from the development of Sydhavn and the artist's familial relationships to biological processes. The installation moves between the close and infrastructural, and lets the meeting of materials, space, and the spectators movement through them, create meaning.
