In the Darkness, We Ask the Sun to Remember Us

In the Chapel Park, Sct. Hans Garden, Roskilde, a large patterned decoration has been cut in the grass. Together, visual artist Maria Finn and landscape architect Jacob Kamp have created the large-scale grass installation “Mirakel” (after Josef Frank)”. The work is created by shaping the grass and leaving it to grow. The work is based on a textile pattern from the 1920s designed by Austrian-born architect, artist and designer Josef Frank (1885-1967), in which a complex and varied pattern emerges and continually develops by repeating and rotating a single element. A small part of Frank’s pattern has been transferred in a large scale to the grass of the Chapel Park by Finn and Kamp. Here, it once again becomes part of the landscape and visitors can view it from a distance or step inside it.
