Jorcks Ejendomme (property owner) has this empty store for rent into an unknown future, right in the middle of the main pedestrian street in Copenhagen, Denmark. Putting up a poster saying "For Rent" is uncreative and down right pointless, since that's not the way you find new tenants.
So they called me.
The art exhibition that I made is a hypothesis: What would Denmark and everyday objects look like, if we had preserved more of our viking culture, by rejecting Christianity, Latin letters, and other things typical of pan-European culture.
Besides a short text in Danish and English (since it is in the centre of the tourist trap), there is a URL and a QR code pointing to a website made for the occasion. The website is in Danish, English and Swedish.

There are two holes to look through. Behind one there is a small exhibition of some objects on a lambskin, in the other a slideshow with mood pictures.

In the process... Exhibition, video screen and backlight not yet in place...
But imagine the joy of walking down a pedestrian street with an attack ax in hand.
