Press Release

Variants is created by the French artist Pierre Huyghe (b. 1962, Paris) and was opened as work number 50 in the sculpture park. Variants is made especially for Kistefos and is located on a previously inaccessible island that is periodically flooded by the Randselva River.

The location was chosen by Huyghe himself and it significantly expands the landscape and Kistefos as a whole. Variants is Huyghe's largest permanent project to date, and the most ambitious work in the sculpture park so far.
