What is actually Arabic, what is Indian, what is Chinese?
The 3-D installation Verdensrum (World Spaces) by Birgit Kjærsgaard shows the cultural sign systems of these three cultures and their metaphoric implications. Design, figures and signs or even the weather become starting points for Kjærsgaards artistic approach, behind which her fascination for foreign cultures and their aesthetics and spirituality makes itself felt. The project combines photography, film, music and scents. With the help of 3-D spectacles, digital soundtracks and odours, the viewer is transported on a virtual trip in search of the roots of three cultures and the mysteries of the east.
Verdensrum forms part of the exhibition series A holi-city (a holistic city), which engages with ideas of holism, holicity, the holy and spirituality generally. Beneath all their extensive promises of happiness and trappings of holistic theory, the abstract architectural meditations of Birgit Kjærsgaard represent an investigative journey that is fascinatingly sui generis.
