COLORING THE SKY

Client: Artboost / Region Midtjylland
Location: Aarhus, Denmark
Photography through handmade glass lens, printed on foil and mounted on existing glass roof.
Coloring the Sky is a site-specific artwork commissioned by Artboost for Fenrishus; a care center for kids and young people with special needs.
This immersive piece embraces the visitors with colorful daylight and shadows upon entry of Fenrishus.
The center offers specialised solutions for people with disabilities and functional impairments, 24-hours a day. In order to create a caring, supportive and welcoming environment Fenrishus needed tailor-made art solutions that would fit the diversity of users and the space itself. Counting all kinds of users - from those with simple physical disabilities to complex and terminal diagnoses - the art solutions had to speak to a variety of user needs, including those of the family members and next of kin visitors. At Fenrishus everyone should feel comfortable and at home, despite the institutional environment where tough life conditions and difficult choices are the prerequisites of daily life.
