Astra
|
A
tribute to a young woman who,
unconstrained by societal
conventions, has attained almost
ethereal beauty as she walks the
streets of Copenhagen.
|
The book trader
|
A
Copenhagen story about ancient
knowledge—and to the old age that
embodies it— which is often
overlooked, much like old, used
books that are lost in our society. |
Runa
|
A
Copenhagen fairy tale about the
freedom and seductive madness of
youth; a lament addressed to adults
regarding the way they have
structured adult life; an assertion
of a possibility that is being
rejected. |
Small land of the
North
|
A
self-critical tribute to my
birthplace, its people, nature, and
history—for better or worse.
|
The silver mirror
|
A tribute
to Copenhagen’s lost knowledge—still
lying down there beneath the
rubble—and a reminder to respect
what one does not understand or
believe in.
|
Random love
|
A story
inspired by true events about a
young Copenhagen woman who appears
free but is actually trapped in an
extensive mathematical prison.
|
The pink substance
|
A
critique of Danish conformity—a
force that unites yet suppresses so
powerfully that it must be magic or
collective madness,
or, as the narrator begins to
suspect, a deliberate, systematic
poisoning. |
Short experiment
for a better world
|
A
conventional observer’s fascination
with the unconventional thinker: a
young man who radically changes
society to save the world.
|
Emma
|
A
critique of bureaucratic inhumanity
that overlooks the potential of the
individual, ultimately to the
detriment of many.
|
Regression to the mean
|
A
personal story about an early
encounter with the Law of Jante—as
early as in Danish primary school.
|
Copenhagen
Hallucinations
|
A tale
that connects the physics of time
pockets with Copenhagen’s past and
present, and reflects on how much
better off Copenhageners are today.
