‘’Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?’’ - Robert
Browning
Babel ́s Stair was designed as a temporary installation for the exhibition “Vi kan bo
her mens vi venter” set up in the south harbour of Aarhus, Denmark. It was built with
materials borrowed from local companies on the harbour.
The instillation was conceived as a main entrance to the exhibition which dealt with
themes from the Anthropocene- the proposed current geological epoch, in which
characteristics of the environment are now defined by man’s influence upon it. The
visitor approaches the installation facing the exhibition building and the city. As the
visitor ascends the stair to the top, s/he is turned nearly 180 degrees and presented
with a view out over Aarhus Harbour. The contrasting perspectives offered an
introductory glimpse into the themes of the exhibition.
