The works provided space for reflection and alternative experiences of known as well as unknown places in the city, which was the World Capital of Architecture in 2023.

Denmark Parliament debuts newly commissioned work by Kasper Bonnén

On October 6, the Parliament of Denmark debuted the commissioned painting "In Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Denmark's Entry into the Labyrinthine European Communities" by Kaspar Bonnén.

The painting weaves together imagery of cities, marketplaces, military actions, treaty texts, posters, and political scenes, as well as artworks by Ursula Reuter Christiansen, Tanja Nis-Hansen, Anna Rettl, Ahmad Siyar Qasimi, Ismar Cirkinagic, and Asbjorn Skou.

According to Bonnén, this work reflects new collaborations, new issues, new solutions, and new identity crises prompted by the growth of the EU. Posing the question "do we truly have a community?" it aims to encapsulate collage-like representation and fluidity, emphasizing the importance of collaboration amid diversity.

“I THOUGHT WE SHOULD BUILD SOMETHING UP TOGETHER, BUT I KEPT ON DIGGING.” By building  this sentence

out of bricks outside the museum to deliberate the unsettled society during pandemic, and the reflection of humans to our environment.    

“It is in this context as a complex statement about how you act in an intimate social context, but also in a broader sense how we as humans try to build up things, that also tends to collapse...” ——Kaspar Bonnén
