A bridge with a twist
No, it's not a sci-fi movie set - but maybe it should be. The Twist looks like a futuristic intrusion in the dense woods and preserved historic buildings of Jevnaker, Norway, home to the Kistefos Museum's sculpture park. The Twist is a bridge, but it’s also an art gallery. Its unique construction features straight panels set at increasing angles as one moves toward the centre, to create a 90-degree turn where a wall becomes the ceiling and vice versa.
Situated about an hour's drive from Oslo around a defunct wood pulp mill on the Randselva river, Kistefos boasts a collection of works by Anish Kapoor, Claes Oldenburg and other notable artists. The Twist, which opened in autumn 2019, is intended to become a space for rotating (pun intended) art exhibitions and even music performances.
