Jeppe Hein, 2013

This water pavilion is a modern variation on a traditional theme. A feature of the geometrical Baroque gardens of the 17th century was the use of surprise fountains that would switch on and off unexpectedly, dowsing anyone within range. Surprise is a key element in Jeppe Hein’s work. Those who walk across this fountain will be surprised by the water.
