The artwork Change of Direction by Maria Miesenberger is part of Artipelag’s permanent outdoor exhibition Sculpture in Nature – featuring artworks placed throughout the surrounding landscape: on cliffs and meadows, along the shoreline and deep within the forest.
Maria Miesenberger (born 1965, in Svalöv, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm and is one of Sweden’s most successful artists in photography and sculpture. Miesenberger is represented with three works in Sculpture in Nature, two of which have been at Artipelag since 2012. The latest sculpture, Change of Direction (2018), is eleven metres tall and stands on a lawn. Constructed as a triangle, it features a figure on each side, which, although designed as human bodies, rather represent avatars. Neither children nor adults, women or men, stationary or mobile, the sculptures are characteristic of Miesenberger’s pictorial language, in which she is constantly searching for new ways of communicating through techniques and expressions that do not exist in spoken or written language. Identity, liberation, memory and absence are some of the themes reflected in her art. Using her own language, Miesenberger transforms that which is strange into something recognisable.
