    DSF2176

    The essence of Kistefos is encapsulated in the sculptures, inviting contemplation and reflection. These works allude to the workers’ community which was a defining feature of Kistefos until the mid-1950s, while also mirroring distinctively Norwegian values and ruminating on the universal human experience.

    DSF2176

    Essensen av Kistefos er kapslet inn i skulpturene og inviterer til ettertanke og refleksjon. Verkene henspiller på arbeidersamfunnet som preget Kistefos frem til midten av 1950-tallet, men speiler også verdier som er særnorske og som drøfter det universelle ved det å være menneske.
