// Flexibility in Contradictory landscape Sequence of investigations to see, find and understand flexibility in the Contradictory landscape in Nikel, and how to adapt flexibility in this landscape. By looking closer into every landscape I make an attempt to grasp all of them as systems of information exchange, understand the landscapes character, find enough information to see and identify spaces in the landscapes to keep them alive.

// The atmospheric landscape
The season space
The shifting weather conditions that influence the surroundings. People pack them selfs into warm clothes in the winter. Animals visit and vegetation grows while it is warm in the summertime.
The time space
The change from the morning sunrise to the evening sunset when the moon and the stars start to decorate the sky.
The filter space
The fluxing filter of sulphur dioxide that distorts the colours in the landscape.
// The enjoyable landscape
The water space
The vegetation space
Where the sounds of the stream awakens an awerness of the vastness of the water. A lens with powers of reflection, spatial reversal, refraction, and the transformation of rays of light.
Plants that use water and sunlight to grow from soil. Each year blooming in the summer and withering away in the winter. Providing food for animals and people.
// The cultural landscape
The dwelling space
The delight space
The routine space
Where you can feel the essence of the people. Personal space where the little girl feels safe. She decorates her room from her heart and emotions. This is the space inside the Cultural landscape where people live and call there home.
Where people meet, get together and enjoy themselves. Where parents meet to watch their children’s school play. Families relax and laugh together at a resturant. The space inside the Cultural landscape where people spend enjoyalbe time together with some activity.
The space where people have to go to make a living. Where you can see an old lady buying food or a young child lerning how to read or write. The space where you learn, work or buy things to survive in the world.
// The industrial landscape
The crude space
The dark space
The fixed visible steel structure that is evident from every direction around Nikel. The machinemade materials of the structure that send the echo of the hidden workers on the inside out to the landscapes.
The unknown space inside the steel structure, that is hidden from the outsider. The filled space that touches the individual directly, envelopes him, penetrates him, and even passes trough him.
// The path landscape
The street space
The path that connects cities together and people use various kind of vehicles as an traveling method. This space connectes and overlap many dierent landscapes.
The stroll space
Small paths that a mother uses to walk to the supermarket. A path family strolls on when picking mushrooms in The vegetation space. The paths that the tourist can see trace of in The dying space. The stroll space is connected to many dierent spaces, connects them and overlaps alot of landscapes.
The plaza space
A space where people gather, this space is always connected to The stroll space or The street space. This is a space where kids drive theyr model car, play hide and seek, and parents sit down or play with their kids.
// The tourist landscape
The anima space
The capsule space
Part of the traveller that is directed inward and is in touch with the subconscious. Which influences one’s actions and feelings, it’s connected to the travellers experience from childhood and saga.
The travellers physical form. The body and its senses, muscles and bones that the traveller understands the landscape and space he/she is experiencing.
// The nexus landscape
The connection space
The infrastructure space
The lines in the air that overlap landscapes and carry electricity and electrical signals between places. It connects places and people with each other. They appear translucent to our eyes.
Wooden and steel structures that carry The connection space between places. They are very visible to our eyes and they follow a line of The path landscape.
// The drained landscape
The dying space
The plants that struggle to stay alive, absorbing the toxic waste that is sent out into The atmospherical landscape from The dark space. This space has been bent so far that its almost completely broken.
The buried space
Where the life has been sucked out of the soil, plants have struggled to stay alive but slowly been “buried alive�.
