SELECTED WORKS
     
bvhhs   GLOBAL HOPE – GLOBAL DESPAIR
Sarang Building 1 / Yogyakarta / Indonesia 2018
line
This 'Global Time Installation' with 12 ticking clocks raises a visual question to some of the major global problems in the world. Has the time run out ?

INSTALLATIONS
Kersan Art Studio / Yogyakarta / Indonesia 2015
line
The material I chose for my exhibition are Indonesian everyday materials like bamboo and clay - in the form of jars and bowls, as well as a common Indonesian visual symbol language. In this way I hope both physically and mentally to engage in dialogue with the Indonesian spirit.

REQUIEM
Solbjerg Cemetery Southern Chapel / Copenhagen 2013
line
The project 'REQUIEM' is a reflection upon the themes that I, as an artist, have chosen to work with over the past 30 years - installations that are created for specific spaces and places. - Artworks created temporarily in Space and Time. The works are destroyed and therefore physically out of Time and Space.
     
  ToBeOrNotToBe
Kronborg Carstel / Elsinore / Denmark 2008
line
I am working with three stages of the legend of Hamlet, freely adapted from Shakespeare: To Be / The Past, Or Not / The Present, To Be / The Future. From the organic body of primitive man - via our time’s preoccupation with the brain and artificial organs - to the control of the future of genes and technology.

bvhhs line GLOBAL ‘HEART’ CIRKULATION
Arken Museum of Modern Art / Denmark 2002

The installation, visualizes society as a pulsing heart chamber that has the rhythm and sound of a ticking bomb – a reactor bursting with energy affecting life and death.
     
bvhhs line GLOBAL - INHALATION - EXPIRATION
Water Reservoir / Plenzlauer Berg / Berlin / Germany 2001
line
Staged like a ‘lit de parade’, the installation is a reflection on the air we breathe, physically and mentally. How political leaders pollute other people’s lives. How power and finances corrupt, inducing a global lack of oxygen.

bvhhs line KOMMUNE’ IK@TION
Rødovre City Hall / Copenhagen 1998
line
The radars substitute for the classical vessels of sacred fire placed on top of the most important buildings in the ancient Greek communes to communicate with the gods above. In a democracy like Denmark, small talk is received.
     
bvhhs line RELATIVISME
Kunsthal Charlottenborg / Copenhagen 1996

Twelve black burned wooden sculptures, dangling like lifeless bodies from metallic umbilical cords, are suspended among sculpture fragments, resting only on their bronze points.
     
bvhhs line CIRCULAR ARC
Roskilde University Center / Denmark 1990
line
‘Circular Arc’ visualizes theoretical notions of ‘The Golden Cut’ in dialog with
life’s opposites of outer-inner / preservation-destruction / weight-lightness /
culture-nature / practice-theory.
     
bvhhs line METAMOR’PHOSIS
B & W Ship Hall / Copenhagen 1989
line
The former B & W Shipyards hall (90x30x22 meters), is a ‘Contemporary Cathedral’ in an aesthetics-of-decay age.
     
bvhhs line PLUS - MINUS
Glerie Asbæk / Copenhagen 1988
line
‘Plus-Minus’ a poetic, quiet installation, a magically lingering force field suffused with the internal energy of opposites: Fire-Ice / Black-White / Light-Heavy / Airy-Grounded.
