Peter Callesen – Et hav av papir

8. June–8. September 2024

The global climate crisis is a backdrop for several of Callesen’s works. In the exhibition “A Sea of Paper”, he examines the importance of water for humans, and the importance of living where land and water meet. Denmark is located just above sea level and is one of the countries that could be hit hard if the sea level rises.

Water not only permeates the landscape we surround ourselves with, but also our Nordic language is characterized by water metaphors. Callesen puts the spotlight on the life-giving and dangerous water, and on the importance of water in both a literal and figurative sense.
