Ingvar Cronhammar: H, Cisternerne

The old water reservoir at Soendermarken Park was drained 33 years ago. Throughout 2015 you could experience the water return to Cisternerne.

Into the engine-room

Ingvar Cronhammar’s installation exuded a heaviness and power which can best be described as something mechanical. The journey around the exhibition was an experience similar to stepping into the engine-room of an enormous, abstract machine.

The concept of the exhibition was very simple and yet very effectively created with metaphors and associations of the existential and the subconscious.

The exhibition “H” was an ambitious and comprehensive installation created by the Danish artist Ingvar Cronhammar, accompanied by the Danish musical composer Martin Hall.

When entering Cisternerne you were surrounded by water, in the form of a large water surface that covered the floor, and columns of falling water that reflected and co-created the visual as well as the musical experience.
