23 ( MELLOW WASHING )

Big City. The colors recreates the light of a dead Sunday afternoon. They are iconic for the buildings of Copenhagen. The room is the point of time when everyone has left the city. Replicates the feeling of loneliness that one only can feel when wandering around an empty city with no real fix points. The life of the youth, normally seen as colorful, playful, and a bit chaotic, is  now unfolding as hard and mechanical. The lack of life, the yet un done actions, now makes up the story line.The city has no subject - it has temming. There are no abandoned actions. In any case, it is unclear to determine whom the actions belong to - besides the crowds. 

The big city seems tough and raw. How do we make it our homes - how do we interact with it, how do we make ourselves part of it? When you attend a dance class or somebody invites you into their home, then you make dots. The rest of the city is just a frame for substance. 

When you look into a peephole, you get a private but limited shot of someone's life. A snapshot, a frozen scene. It’s a passive picture of life. Not the active life lived behind the walls. 

The city becomes our home when we act in it. Not by passing the many people on the street or by the light from the lit apartment, but through making our own dots throughout the city.
