Diane Landry

Up in the ceiling inside the Sankt Nicolai church hangs a large chandelier made of transparent cutlery. The crown is shaped like an upside-down round cone and the cutlery is assembled with small threads and rings so that they create a quadrilateral triangle pattern. In the background, an organ can be seen in front of an incredibly colorful window.

Ethereal as a crystal chandelier, "Exhaustion" glitters against the sky. It is strikingly beautiful. The magic is in the movement and interplay of the objects. The dimensions are huge: 4.1 metres in diameter, over 2 metres high and 1.5 metres in varying positions. Landry has created the installation from recycled objects. The glittering glass in the chandelier is in fact transparent cutlery and other plastic objects. The mechanics are robust and operate through basic instruments such as wheels, screws, pulleys and levers. Landry wants her work to be experienced as an extraordinary machine for dreaming about space, time and light – and one in which thousands of stories can bubble to the surface. Giving ordinary objects new meaning is Landry’s signature trait.

A man sits next to the pews and plays a black piano. Between the church pews runs a long pride carpet in the colors of the rainbow and above the carpet hangs a chandelier made of transparent cutlery from the ceiling. The crown is shaped like an upside-down round cone and the cutlery is assembled with small threads and rings so that they create a quadrilateral triangle pattern.
