Kåre Frang
Kåre Frang invites children and adults into a universe of play and wonder. His large-scale work for Blåvandshuk Beach juxtaposes the local area's recent past with an imminent, dystopian future in a subtle and humorous approach. At first glance, the recognizable and surprising motif evokes memories of the landscapes of childhood, and at the same time spreads an uneasiness in the body, which makes you understand that the world we know today will not last.
