The Association of Norwegian Sculptor’s experimental public art space Prosjektrom Carl Berner / Skulpturarena öst is located in the transit hall of one of Oslo’s busiest tube stations.
For her solo show at the project space, Nina Torp has created a site specific installation. She perceives the transit hall as a non-place – a place without identity, narratives or stories. For a month she has photographed the windows at selected flat’s in the 1950’s high-rise residential building situated directly above the transit hall underground.
Torp has moved the light and the view from the residential building above the tube station vertically into the project space underground.
 
The installation consists of projections in three different directions (west, north/south, east), which change every 5 seconds. The projections may be associated with frescoes. The illusory windows / images projected, opens the space up outside the walls of the project space underground. The installation plays with reality and illusion. The artist has used a compass to direct and measure the position of the windows of the building above ground and transferred them to the dark hall underground. A temporary place occurs which is both deceptive and true.
 
Part II of Nina Torp’s project Outside everything is immeasurable consists of an installation of large format prints on mdf week 51 2011.
