Jeppe Hein — No Presence Green
Jeppe Hein

No Presence Green

A vibrant green neon light installation that responds to the presence of viewers, flickering or extinguishing when someone approaches. Hein plays with the paradox of perception and absence, where the act of looking causes the artwork to disappear. The piece transforms the viewer into an active participant, raising questions about observation, existence, and the relationship between people and their environment.
