Background for the art installation:

Galschiøt has created an art installation to bring Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) and his life and thoughts into the 21st century.

Galschiøt's intention is to have the sculptures engage in a dialogue with the viewers about the experience of living in a modern, pulsating city like Copenhagen.

Similar to Dante, he aims to involve the public in this dialogue, especially regarding democratic processes - or their absence - particularly around Dante's Square.

In this location, Q-Park and the City of Copenhagen intend to convert Dante's currently green Paradise into a Dante's black Parking Hell, despite numerous protests from institutions, associations, residents, and businesses.
