She Lies

She Lies
She Lies (Norwegian: hun ligger) is a public sculpture by Monica Bonvicini made of stainless steel and glass panels measuring approximately 12 metres (39 ft) by 17 metres (56 ft) by 16 metres (52 ft) next to the Oslo Opera House, in Norway.

It is a permanent installation, floating on the water in the fjord on a concrete platform, 12 metres (39 ft) above the water surface. The sculpture turns on its axis in line with the tide and wind, offering changing experiences through reflections from the water and its transparent surfaces. The sculpture was made by Bonvicini as a three-dimensional interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich's painting The Sea of Ice (Das Eismeer) (1823–1824). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She_Lies

I would have liked to see this sculpture from the seaward side looking towards the Opera House, because the back-lighting was difficult.

I spent some time looking at this, initially I thought from the thumbnail that a building had collapsed along with it's scaffolding, obviously once I opened the frame and with your documentary it all became obvious. Do I like it !!! not sure! Very clever and difficult for you to have captured it in the right light and position.

Thanks for highlighting this sculpture. We will bear it in mind on our future (as yet unplanned) visit to Norway!

I am not aware of the painting but I do like it as a sculpture and as a photograph. Not an easy subject for sure.
Were you on dry land or a boat to take the photo?
