Sofia HULTÉN & Thilo JENSSEN | UPPERS AND DOWNERS

Where does space begin and where does it end? How do we distinguish between everyday events and an emergency, or between product and production? The works of Thilo Jenssen (*1984 in Daun, lives and works in Vienna) and Sofia Hultén (*1972 in Stockholm, lives and works in Berlin) make such boundaries clear while also showing alternatives. Each takes a different approach to engaging with a similar concept by making series featuring the modification of found materials...

Tungestølen is found on a plateau at the foot of Jostedalsbreen, Europe’s highest mainland glacier. These mountain cabins have far more to offer than the usual food and lodgings with a dormitory full of mattresses. And so it is no coincidence that the project was designed by Snøhetta, one of the world’s most prestigious architectural firms. Their client was Luster Turlag, a local branch of the Norwegian National Trekking Association.

Then there’s the constant angst-inducing news reports: coronavirus, war, climate change. Life is not easy. How much energy is expended just to find the best energy provider alone?
