The Boat by Hans E. Madsen

The artwork ’Boat’ by Hans E Madsen can be described as a glowing three-dimensional drawing or sketch of a boat, hovering in the air next to the harbour. The boat is a carrier of meaning – of leaving and returning, life and death. In Denmark boats are also a part of national self-identification as a seafaring and fishing nation

‘Boat’ is made from about 60 LED light tubes attached to an aluminium pipes individually suspended in the air from the large construction – allowing the artwork to shift in the wind.
