She Lies: A Floating Marvel

Perched next to the Oslo Opera House, She Lies invites contemplation as it floats on the water's surface.

Commissioned in 2015, this sculpture by Monica Bonvicini stands 12 meters tall and 17 meters wide, constructed from stainless steel and glass. Historically significant, it challenges perceptions of art’s interaction with nature, while its transparent surfaces create a dynamic visual experience. The sculpture rotates with tidal currents and wind, making it a continually changing installation.
