They were sourced from the world's first offshore wind farm erected in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby, Lolland, Denmark. It was decommissioned 25 years later in 2017.
Porsager engages with the wind turbine as both a historical symbol of imaginative power and a contemporary emblem of sustainable energy, challenging notions that as long as our energy is clean, lives can continue unchanged. But even technology's highest accomplishments eventually end up as trash. Part of our collective world history and symbols of the promise of clean energy, these fragments form a poignant ruin - a fallen monument of sustainability. But more so; the artworks transcend their own identity as mere art: they could be perceived as debris, advanced measuring tools, severed limbs or even ritualistic objects. As Porsager's works unfold into alternative or even alien interpretations, they challenge presumptions and push our imagination towards possible new dimensions.Exhibitions
