INFORMATION STARVATION
This piece mimics today’s
overload of information and emphasizes the problem of remembering received information. Our brains cannot follow. There is no time to breathe, reflect and understand information before new information has arrived. We forget what we were just told - and so, how much do we know in the end?

TEMPORALITY / IMMORTALITY
Go back inside yourself and look: if you do not yet see yourself as beautiful then do as the sculptor.Like him, remove what is superfluous, straighten what is crooked, clean up what is dark and make it bright, and never stop sculpting your own statue, until the godlike splendor of virtue shines forth to you‌. - Plotinus, Enneads I 6, 9
THE NATURE OF NATURE - BACHELOR PROJECT AARHUS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
THE NATURE OF NATURE 2020 BACHELOR PROJECT INDIVIDUEL PROJECT
The Nature of Nature is a climate lab, observing the moving elements of nature through bodily sensations. By self-chosen askesis one allows for the body and to re-connect with nature by feeling the current of the water and the power of the wind. By being The vision of the project is, that by reminding humans of the power within nature, surrounding everyone of us at every moment, human kind will once again respect and take care of nature. Only two things are known as facts; that we are born and that we will die. Death is a cultural act. In Nepal the body is cuts into pieces whereafter these fracments are
offered to the birds on the mountainside. In Varanasi, in India, the body is burn and ashes are pushed into the river. In another small Indian village astrology reveals a persons day of death, by the day the baby is born. Once the day is about to occur, the person will escape to the forrest and surround to death. In Scandinavia we are burried in the soil, marked by the placement of a rock. The transfer between life and death is cultural conditioned, but the connetion to nature is universal; through the sky, river, forrest and soil. The wind, water, palnts and rock.

NATURE MIRRORING
Today we acknowledge the climate changes but are not aware of the extend of consequences. The scale of the globe and cascade of nature-phenomena, interconnected, and internally affecting, makes it impossible for humans to predict the climatic consequences. Therefore, man must step out into nature on the terms of nature (leaving the Anthropocene for the non-Anthropocene). In the project, I have explored how humans can be more ‘honestly present’ in the climate and environment we interact with. How we can be absorbed by nature; feel the heat of the sun and hear the rush of water. ‘Ambassadors’ will be communicators of the climate and expand the ability to engage in a dialogue with nature and interact with the surrounding environment.
