Jeppe Hein's Penguin Balloons Invade St. Agnes Nave
At KÖNIG GALERIE, Jeppe Hein's exhibition titled YOU ARE NEVER REALLY ALLONE is currently on display in the Nave of St. Agnes. This showcase includes reimagined mirror balloon sculptures designed in the form of penguins, now positioned on the ground rather than soaring in the air. The shiny surfaces of these sculptures both reflect and warp the surrounding architecture and the audience, creating a dynamic interplay between heaviness and buoyancy.
