What is art? Can anything be art? Reuterswärd created what we call “impossible figures” that make us question what we are seeing.

Art does not have to make a statement about the modern age, it can display paradoxal mathematical figures that show the conflict between surface and volume.

The artwork certainly gives meaning to the phrase a “flat organisation”. Why do you think that is? Hint: can the figures move between different levels or not?

Stand in front of the mirror surfaces and move slowly sideways. What happens to the smiley?

When water has been captured by soap, it can be stretched. This makes it possible to blow soap bubbles and make long webs. Create a soap bubble curtain by pulling the rope!

Do you want to stand inside a soap bubble? The ring here is so large that you can create a film of soap around you. But what do you need to be able to fly inside one?

Soap bubbles are magical. They are shiny, soft and contain all the colours of the rainbow. If you like soap bubbles, this is the place to be!

Stand in front of the box and look through the opening. What do you see? 

The Pavilion of Light is not only an experiment: it’s also a work of art. It demonstrates how what we see is influenced by such factors as the colour of the light and the colour of the object.
