By reshaping and revealing how we experience different spaces, meaning both landscape and home, Henriette Hansen’s installations create an awareness of how we see nature as something original and not manmade, but at the same time space as something constructed by human actions and culture, even though a landscape is as much a space as the rooms of our homes. Henriette Hansen’s works investigate the tensions that exist between the physical, material space and the way it is mentally and culturally constructed. Space, whether it is a landscape or a private living room, is at one time existing reality and constructed myth and has no fixed meaning. Thereby Hansen inscribes herself in a postmodern paradigm where no single truth exists.
