HC Gilje — OBSERVATORIET (2026)

Six rooms across five floors become a fictional observatory. Moving light activates, closes or shifts architectural boundaries, while the visitor’s route constructs the work. Gilje relates the building to older structures where celestial observation and ritual met. The installation asks us to notice how space shapes attention rather than simply look at an object.
