Seemingly freestanding flat surfaces are leant against the
facade in the garden of the Swedish Institute in Paris.
The minimalistic white and even surfaces become the ultimate
contrast to the 16th century-building. The individual
objects is bound together by the subtle interplay of light,
originating from the centre of the installation. The soft
gradient of light emphasizes the differences in material
and shape between the composition of layers, and the facade
as the background.
The Layers installation takes design cues from Rybakken's
previous work, as Colour light (designed in collaboration
with Andreas Engesvik) with Ligne Roset 2011 and Layers
light, presented at Spazio Rossana Orlandi the same year.
