SCANDINAVIA is a ‘passage’ or corridor reconstructing themes from Scandinavian culture. The corridor displays Nordic artisan traditions, popular Nordic themes and modernistic Scandinavian architecture contrasting with visual and architectural icons. The felt sweaters are copies of the famous Icelandic wool sweaters. The corridor was positioned near Gothenburg’s Scandinavian harbor, under the highway overpass moving traffic to Norway.
