The following images are a visual account of Anarchive: memory #01 which took place Sunday 19.august at the wetland of the Gammelgaard Arts and Culture Centre in Herlev, Denmark.

ANARCHIVE is a medicinal garden I am initiating at the wetland site of Gammelgaard. The work will span from Aug.2018 to Oct.2019 through a series of lectures, performances, sculptures, props, installations, and infrastructures. I work on social pedestals, and in collaboration with my partner, curator Maria Kamilla Larsen and our daughter Freia Pilar. Anarchive is associated to my larger work doctoral work titled ‘Breathtaking Greenhouse Parastructures’ taking place at the Konst Teknik Design joint doctoral programme by Konstfack / KTH, slated to be published in the fall of 2019.

More events and outcomes will follow.
