Hein says that the work is ‘inspired by the notion of the University as a place of learning and self-discovery’ and that it is partly a response to the history and character of the site. The University is confident that the piece will interest, challenge and inspire generations of students, staff and visitors.
Jeppe Hein’s works often involve and surprise people by encouraging them to interact with one another and with the works themselves, and by playing optical tricks. His piece for the University’s centenary is no exception and invites audiences to engage with it in very direct ways.
