TEXT
The construction site stands both defined and undefined as a space in people’s memories. A void in the city. A transitory space where something once was and something is in the process of becoming. The field, momentarily reappearing to make way for more buildings, more of the sky being consumed by the next structure, taller than the last.
Here on the construction site, Olivia Rode Hvass lets myths and magic emerge in an exploration of culture, humanity, and its place in the world. What happens when myths and magic are brought into the present? When the countryside moves into the city, the past into the future, blending the construction site with ruins to examine the interplay between urban development and magic?
In the exhibition VOID CHARM, Rum46’s gallery space is temporarily transformed into a total installation, where the mysterious atmosphere of a construction site takes over the room. Here, among puddles and sandy soil, you are invited to explore Rode Hvass’ enchanting universe.
