A Library That Plummets into an Abyss by Susanna Hesselberg for Sculpture by the Sea

Fun and Random

Susanna Hesselberg, “When My Father Died It Was Like a Whole Library Had Burned Down” (2015)

For her entry into the biannual Sculpture by the Sea in Aarhus, Denmark, Swedish artist Susanna Hesselberg installed this ominous library that plumments into the ground like a mining shaft. While visually arresting, the piece has a somewhat somber intention. Titled “When My Father Died It Was Like a Whole Library Had Burned Down,” the piece alludes to the sweeping feeling of loss accompanying the death of the artist’s father. The piece joins an additional 55 sculptures on display right now at the 2015 Sculpture by the Sea through July 5, 2015. (via Hyperallergic)
