Isola
Work detail
The image series in ISOLA is a precisely defined time capsule from the spring of 2020. On the evening of 11 March, Denmark was shut down. With one blow, we were all trapped and alone in the world. The next morning, the architectural photographer Jens Lindhe met a Copenhagener who had been emptied of life in one night. The buildings were there, but the people and the noisy traffic were gone. With one blow, we were all trapped and alone in the world. Now the otherwise lively urban space of the big city was transformed with a bang into a kind of desolate theater scenography. Where the everyday noise and stress usually painted the cityscape, the city 'scenery', the architecture, now emerged undisturbed. With essay by Tore Leifer and poem by Morten Søndergaard. Billedserien i ISOLA er en ganske præcist afgrænset tidskapsel fra foråret 2020. Den 11. marts om aftenen blev Danmark lukket ned. Med et slag var vi alle fanget og alene i verden. Næste morgen mødte arkitekturfotografen Jens Lindhe et København, som på en nat var bleƯvet tømt for liv. Bygningerne var der, men menneskene og den larmende trafik var væk. Med et slag var vi alle fanget og alene i verden. Nu var storbyens ellers livlige byrum med et slag forvandlet til en slags øde teaterscenografi. Dér hvor dagligdagens bulder og stress normalt tegnede bybilledet, trådte nu byens 'kulisser', arkitekturen, uforstyrret frem. Med essay af Tore Leifer og digt af Morten Søndergaard.
