Sofie’s Room

Duo Exhibition

Opening: March 21th 2024, MUNCH museum-Oslo (NO)
Exhibition time 22.04.2024 _ 18.08.2024

Sofie’s Room is an interactive installation created for children, a monochromatic landscape in which darkness becomes a source of mystery, magic, and creative power. A framed fountain gushes black paint over the room, pumping up shadows, histories, and ghosts.

The walls in this room are magnetic and covered with shapes. Some of these are taken from Edvard Munch’s paintings. You can move them around to make new pictures, stories, and patterns. On each visit you will pick up where someone else has left off and leave behind your own fantasies and messages. Here the fountain is a portal between the past and the present; a ghostly legacy to you, standing here, from those who have already passed through.
