Mind the Gap: Exhibition by Designer Ane Lykke in the Danish Design Centre

Ane Lykke has taken over the Danish Design Centre's exhibition space the Balcony with an interactive installation on the 5 x 3-metre back wall.

The exhibition is called "Mind the gap", inspired by the message on the loudspeakers as one steps off the trains in the London underground. The exhibition focuses the space between two parallel layers of hexagonal boxes:

"The exhibition explores a very common phenomenon, which we have all experienced, for example when passing two parallel grid fences. As we move we see new wave forms or patterns arising.

This is the principle that I have used in the exhibition.

I want to find new ways of affecting the perception of a space, demonstrating that the spectator plays a crucial part," says Ane Lykke, who adds that in physics this phenomenon is referred to as interference patterns.

In the exhibition Ane Lykke has covered the back wall of the room with a two-layered wall where the layers are separated by a 14 cm-space.

The layers are made of hexagonal plastics boxes with stripes made of red lines in varying density and directions.
