The Brenderup Icon

The Brenderup Globe is symbolic of openness and solidarity.

The Globe is constructed of 9 “hoops”, cut out of Cortén steel plate 2,5 cm. The Globe is 5 meter in diameter. From this 2-dimensional plate, the Globe rises in its 3rd dimension in one single expression, which provides the sculpture with a thrilling dynamic: when passing the Globe, the 9 hoops will move individually – also at nighttime – when light transforms the Globe.

The Globe in its corrodes expression has become part of the scenery simultaneously rising above it.

The 9 hoops symboize that we constitute a unity on our round globe.

To the Brenderup inhabitants, it will symbolize whether you are en route into the world or coming home.

The Brenderup Globe is designed by Ole Flensted.
