Drawing on inspiration from children’s playgrounds, the aim of this project has been to bring the excitement of playing back into the lives of adults. The sculpture offers alternate ways to move through city spaces by challenging balance and movement and awakening the inner child of adults. By creating interesting city spaces, it allows people to become active users rather than mere passers-by.

Objects placed in Oluf Bagers Plads, Odense.
