Dodekalitten


"DODEKALITTEN" is a circle of 12 singing megaliths overlooking the sea. The musical sculpture project at Glentehøj, Lolland, is being created by sculptor Thomas Kadziola and composer Gunner Møller Pedersen.

The sculpture is a tribute to the ancestors of Lolland (fourth largest island in Denmark), the people who gave the island it's name. With the sculpture being a sound instillation as well, the circle will actually 'sing'. There is a song that was composed especially for the sculpture, that will play from the stones at intervals every day, all year around.

The series of videos are in Danish.  The first one of the series (above) is pretty neat. It's amazing what a drill, some shims, wedges and a hand mallet can accomplish.
