Since childhood, I have loved listening to fairy tales and folklore. And dreamed of magical worlds filled with dragons and trolls. As a teenager, I started writing my first stories as a rapper. I released records, even started touring and creating my own universe where I could tell these stories. In my latest project, I combined all of the above with my work as a sculptor. Recycling, rap, nature and sculpture, - explains the author of the project, Danish artist Thomas Dumbo. - My new creation is called "7 trolls and a magic tower" and is a fairy tale told through sculptures and words hidden in the forest. Everything is made from recycled materials.
The height of the seven trolls varies from 7 to 18 meters, the tower on the hill - 17. The project took about 25 weeks to build by a team of 15 people. โWe mostly used old supermarket shelves, pallets and branches from fallen trees,โ says Thomas
โ
The place for placing the sculptures was also chosen not by chance: confined to the reserve, but accessible to the public, it was once used for clay extraction, which formed its diverse landscape: hills and flat areas, reservoirs and remains of structures and equipment - an ideal environment for placement trolls here!
There are 7 of them in total, hidden in the forests or waiting for random travelers right on the paths. Each has its own story and role in the story.
The oldest of them, the bearded troll Hannes, sits on the remains of a brick bridge that used to transport the mined clay.
