Jacob Dahlgren’s new large scale work, Colour Reading and Contexture, is presented in Setouchi Triennale 2025 in Japan.

For the piece, Dahlgren collected square-shaped items that are no longer used, such as books, tiles and wooden boxes, and combined various colors, sizes and shapes in layers to create a small town of colors and shapes. The collaborative process of collecting materials from the local people, which took several months, is also part of the artwork.

The Setouchi Triennial runs until 9 November 2025.
