Collective Strings

(Denmark)

Made of three kilometers of colored rope, the collective installation is meant to develop gradually according to the way in which the city dwellers intervene in the network, according to the new connections they make and to the way in which they choose to recreate themselves in the kaleidoscopic rope jungle. The project was conceived in 2015 by Danish artist Karoline H. Larsen in order to allow people to change the public space in a creative and free manner. Collective Strings took surprising forms and changed urban spaces in Cape Town (2005), New York (2007), Bengalūru in India (2009), Marseille (2010), Zürich (2012), Stockholm (2013), Helsinki (2014), and Copenhagen (2015).
