update - armors moved to Sankt Annæ Plads
/ARMORS, the sculptures by Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir, have been moved from Kongens Nytorv to Sankt Annæ Plads.
The installation has three pairs of figures and in each pair there is an androgynous figure who is set apart from and facing a figure in medieval armour.
The three figures in armour are different and are from the collection of the New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and have been reproduced through the use of 3D scanning. The androgynous figures are based on studies of the artist’s son.
These figures stand on the ground, rather than being set up on a pedestal, and, visually, seem to work better on the gravel surface here.
The statues remained on Kongens Nytorv for longer than suggested in the original programme.
