Bench of oblivion, 2004, granite and bronze, Stora torget (The big square) in Visby, 150 x 45 x 70 cm
Three forgotten things from the past centuries are laying on a granite
bench in the big square in the old town Visby. It is a medeival
purse, an apple with a bite taken from it and a bunch of keys.
The keys are of different periods, one is a hundred years old,
another from the present. Although many think of Visby as a
medeival city, it also bears marks from subsequent periods and
shows a lot
of influences from abroad.
