Pettersen Hein’s Face, a small circular wall-mounted concrete work in mottled purple tones, with a rough textured surface and simple smiling facial features formed from embedded and incised elements. Pettersen Hein, Face. Concrete and pigments, 28 × 32 × 6 cm. Pettersen Hein brings postmodern irony into the memento mori tradition through a smiling-face wall piece. Installation view, Vanitas in Use II, Innenkreis. Photo by Robert Damisch.
