"Gargoyle"
“Gargoyle” is a site-specific piece made for a narrow passage in Aabenraa, Denmark.
We utilize yhe architecture and materials of the site by modifying two exiting downpipes on each housewall.
Both downpipes are led into the passage and out from the walls, where they make a series of bends and twists before being led back to the house wall and into the sewer. In the evening when darkess falls, a spotlight is turned on to illuminate the construction from below and the seemingly illogical and absurd pipe routing casts a precise shadow of the classic horror icon Nosferatu walking up a staircase.
Because the figure is folded into downpipes, the creepiness is punctured - yet reminds us, how our imagination begins to see and hear things that aren´t there as we move through dark passages in the dark.
