Anders Holen @Gyldenpris Kunsthall, Bergen, Norway May 22 – August 04, 2025
Heavy Breathing, Installation view
Heavy Breathing consists of ten sculptural works placed among transparent walls that move with the airflow of the room. The installation explores what is active in and between things. By highlighting the agency of objects, the works also reflect what is active in the people observing them. The exhibition presents sculptures based on a living father and a deceased mother, where proximity and bsence emerge as potent forces that elude form and predictability. The Guggenheim Museum is transformed into a perpetual motion machine that channels water through an architectural body. The frames of the wall-mounted artworks are made from mechanical cooling elements that dissipate heat from whatever they come into contact with. Heavy Breathing juxtaposes animated and inanimate objects with vital objects in motion. The exhibition opens up a perspective in which invisible forces at work in the world and in human experience become perceptible.
