“The Space Catcher”

Artist: Hans Fredholm (1952 -)

Location: Ljungby, Lilla Torg (Little Square)

Year: 2013

In the center of two elliptical seating areas at Lilla Torg, the sculpture “The Space Catcher” stands. The sculpture is 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) tall and made of stainless steel. The reflective surface appears differently depending on the lighting conditions—daylight gives “The Space Catcher” one expression, while evening illumination provides another.

“The title ‘The Space Catcher’ can serve as a guide into thoughts about humanity’s search for distant horizons, our quest for answers in outer space, and our lifelong attempt to understand our spatial presence and existence. Our external exploration often leads us back to our own center, our inner space where we construct our perception of reality.” — Hans Fredholm, August 2013.
