Nr. 8: To piker på hodet
Nr. 8: To piker på hodet is a Gustav Vigeland statue in Frogner Park, Oslo, set among the sculptures of the Vigeland installation. Two girls balance on a head, focusing your attention on the human body, pose, and connection.
The surrounding installation contains more than 200 sculptures in granite, bronze, and wrought iron, arranged across a park designed as one complete artistic work. Vigeland planned the layout, gates, bridges, and other architectural elements, while the collection developed over several decades before its completion in the 1940s. Nearby, the 17-metre Monolith rises from a single granite block carved with more than 100 human figures.
Detailed poses and carved facial features give this small scene a clear sense of physical balance and expression. The sculpture belongs to a wider sequence where human relationships, movement, and different stages of life unfold as you walk through the park.
