Circular System

Closed competition for an artwork on a newly built pipe bridge in Novo Nordisk headquarters in Bagsværd, Copenhagen.

Circular system is a work that was designed for a new pipe bridge connecting the old facility with the new facility.

The bridge is suspended 20m in the air and is 100m x 3,5m x 3,5m.

The work consists of:

-Dichroic facade on every side of the bridge

-Red translucent pipe sculpture spiralling around the bridge

The sculptural object that spirals around the bridge is reminiscent of an artery or a DNA spiral. The bridge itself is the foundation for the spiral. The bridge is cladded with dichroic film that has an iridescent hue and changes colors depending on the time of the day. The film is translucent and reflecting.

The sculpture is made from a large red translucent pipe. It has led lights inside it that can create a mystical hue from afar without disturbing the area around it. The sculpture ewokes curiosity as the facility has many pipes with different purposes. 

The shape and the color of the sculpture is reflected in the cladding creating new dimensions of the shape.
