ALEJANDRO MONTERO BRAVO
ABSTRACT LAKES
2021
Public commission for Växjö city's new Municipal house, Sweden 2021.
A public installation in Växjö's new town hall (the Dining Hall). An abstraction of Växjö's lakes and bike paths. Alejandro Montero Bravo’s goal was to create an installation that allows everyone working in the building to connect with the artwork while highlighting nature, which has a strong link to Växjö's history. By working with Växjö’s map, Alejandro created a piece where all elements float in the ceiling, showcasing the room’s architecture while bringing life and movement to the ceiling’s airspace. At the same time, the work references a concept where those working in the town hall can form their own connections to the art.
