The installation consists of two spiraling slides that descend from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/museums-galleries\/\"><strong>museum<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s rooftop to the street below, turning the building\u2019s outer wall into a site of movement and play. The work officially opens to the public on October 4th, 2025, adding an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/interactive-installation\/\"><strong>interactive<\/strong><\/a> addition to the museum\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>H\u00f6ller has built his career on creating interactive works that invite direct participation \u2014 he erected a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/carsten-holler-vitra-slide-tower-weil-am-rhein-06-20-2014\/\"><strong>Slide Tower<\/strong><\/a> at the Vitra Campus as far back as 2014. His background in scientific research, especially the study of insect communication, informs his approach to art as a process of experiment and response. With Stockholm Slides, he extends this interest into architecture, transforming the museum exterior into a channel for both physical descent and psychological intensity.<\/p>\n<p>Carsten H\u00f6ller, Stockholm Slides, 2025 | images \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymatson.com\/\">My Matson<\/a>\/Moderna Museet<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">mirrored choreography by\u00a0carsten h\u00f6ller<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carsten H\u00f6ller\u2019s two Stockholm Slides are identical in length, 39 meters (128 feet) each, but mirrored in their rotation: one coils clockwise, the other counterclockwise. Together they span a vertical drop of fifteen meters (49 feet) from the roof terrace to Slupskjulsv\u00e4gen, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modernamuseet.se\/stockholm\/en\/\"><strong>museum<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s waterside. This doubling allows two people to ride in tandem, creating what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carsten.holler\/?hl=en\"><strong>artist<\/strong><\/a> has called a \u2018mirrored choreography.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The physical experience of the slides is tied to architecture as much as to play. As visitors enter at roof level, they confront the building from an unusual vantage, before being carried downwards in a narrow steel spiral that frames glimpses of the city and the harbor. Gravity becomes an architectural force, guiding bodies in parallel arcs along the museum\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p>Carsten H\u00f6ller installs two spiral slides on the facade of Stockholm\u2019s Moderna Museet<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">architecture for exhilaration<\/h2>\n<p>\nFor Carsten H\u00f6ller, the Stockholm Slides belong to a lineage of what he terms \u2018influential environments.\u2019 These are installations designed to generate specific mental and emotional states by altering spatial perception and the body\u2019s relation to built form. In this case, visitors feel both exhilaration and unease, a controlled surrender to velocity contained within a structural system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although only two riders can descend at once, the artwork extends its influence outward. Pedestrians along the waterfront, as well as diners inside the museum restaurant, can witness the bodies rushing by. In this sense, the installation is a performance in which the architecture mediates between the riders, the observers, and the urban setting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>each slide measures 39 meters in length with a vertical drop of 15 meters<\/p>\n<p>Stockholm Slides descends from the rooftop to the waterfront street<\/p>\n<p>the slides frame fleeting views of the city and harbor as riders descend<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Carsten H\u00f6ller describes the slides as \u2018influential environments\u2019 that alter perception<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>two people can ride at once in opposite rotations<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Stockholm Slides joins the Moderna Museet Collection with a renewable five year permit<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:\u00a0<\/strong>Stockholm Slides<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong>Carsten H\u00f6ller | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carsten.holler\/?hl=en\">@carsten.holler<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Stockholm, Sweden<\/p>\n<p><strong>museum:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modernamuseet.se\/stockholm\/en\/\">Moderna Museet<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/modernamuseet\/?hl=en\">@modernamuseet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>dates: <\/strong>October 4th, 2025 \u2014 December 31st, 2030<\/p>\n<p><strong>photography:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymatson.com\/\">My Matson<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mymatson\/\">@mymatson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/carsten-holler-stockholm-slides-spiral-moderna-museet-interactive-installation-10-03-2025\/\">carsten h\u00f6ller\u2019s mirrored slides spiral down facade of moderna museet in stockholm<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A spiraling artwork at stockholm\u2019s Moderna Museet \u00a0 Stockholm Slides, a new large-scale artwork by Carsten H\u00f6ller, has taken form on the facade of Moderna Museet in the Swedish capital.
