Push a Bush was made for a temporary outdoor exhibition throughout the city of Roskilde, hosted by the Contemporary Museum of Roskilde. The piece consists of three living bushes planted in a buried rotable metal construction. It was placed in the middle of a shortcut on an empty lawn leading to the Viking Ship Museum. It has a green tounge sticking out from one of its short sides. The tounge can be used as a handle to rotate the hedge. This would ‘open’ and ‘close’ the shortcut.
