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 society; a rejection
of a possibility so unconventional
that it appears almost lethal. |
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 lying deep 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 conspiracy story)
|
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 of
the Danes. |
Experiment for a
better world
|
A conventional observer’s
fascination with the unconventional
thinker: a young man who aims to
radically change society and 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.
