“我讨厌山峦、丘陵、河流和雨水。我讨厌任何颜色的日落，我讨厌它的美丽、它的魔力与它未知的秘密。我讨厌冷漠和残忍作为它的可爱之处。” —— 《无题》，2013
“I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness.” – Untitled, 2013

本次，艺术家在挪威北部芬马克海岸Havøysund展出的装置由两个圆柱形玻璃体组成，光线将通过装置反射入观众眼中。装置庞大的体量令人印象深刻，两块玻璃体在世界上饱经风霜的美丽角落静静伫立，随着“午夜太阳”、“北极光”和“冬季黑暗”的变化光线不断创造出新的情绪。
The artist’s installation in Havøysund on the coast of Finnmark in Northern Norway consists of two cylindrical glass objects that reflect the light back to the spectator. Their massiveness and volume are striking. The objects exude silence in a weather-beaten and beautiful corner of the world, where the variations of the light – midnight sun, northern lights and winter darkness – are constantly creating new moods.

由 Jensen & Skodvin Architects 设计的建筑也构成了艺术品整体。小屋简单、清晰且不设窗户，建筑内墙覆盖着泥炭，屋顶桁架过滤了倾泻的自然光，为艺术体验增添了重要维度。
The building enveloping the art installation, designed by Jensen & Skodvin Architects, is an integral part of the artwork. It is simple, sober and without windows. The interior walls are clad with peat, and the roof trusses that sift the natural light from above add important dimensions to the art experience.

Together with Steilneset Memorial in Vardø, the art installation in Havøysund will enhance the position of Finnmark on the international art map. Steilneset Memorial was erected in memory of the victims of the sorcery trials in Finnmark in the 17th century, and solemnly opened by HM Queen Sonja ten years ago; on 23 June 2011. This unique story, together with Louise Bourgeois’s burning chair and Peter Zumthor’s architecture, has generated interest far beyond the borders of Norway. With Roni Horn’s artwork in Havøysund, Finnmark will be enhanced as a tourist destination with yet another art installation by an artist of international calibre.
