Jeppe Hein has created extensive public art projects and has produced permanent public art
works throughout the world. Increasingly Jeppe Hein involves the public in his work in a
highly concrete sense. Since 2013 following a period of illness due to burnout his art has
taken on a distinctly existential and explorative dimension. The extensive project Jeppe Hein -
Who are you really? is not an exhibition in the traditional sense. Instead of shipping works to
Moderna Museet the entire exhibition was produced on site interacting with the building the
collection - and the visitors. His artistic practice is about people physical encounters
dialogue and social interaction. The visitors are an indispensable aspect of his art and most
of his installations can only be experienced if you are there.
