At Kistefos, even the restrooms are part of the art experience 🚽
At the center of the new visitor center's restrooms stands Above the Below, conceived as an anti-monument in which a porcelain splash rises from a dense stoneware base on a marble platform above the sinks, so that the work is experienced from below. A circular mirror placed above serves to close the well. As visitors wash their hands, they encounter themselves held within the falling structure – no longer outside the work, but inside it.
Surrounding this core, Sanctum of Flow unfolds through thirteen oval wall works integrated into the restroom stalls. Formed from clay, glaze, and glass, they resemble bodily and architectural thresholds – openings, passages, releases – made of pipes, ropes, zippers, anatomical fragments, and fluid forms.
Experience it for yourself. Kistefos is open daily from 10- 17
