This book presents a collection of 200 black and white photographs and 100 lines of words gathered by the artist spanning the years from 1968 to 1989. The images were captured as entries in a photographic sketchbook and are represents in pairs that demonstrate visual congruities in form and shading. Opposite the photographs, textual phrases appear in Danish, Icelandic, English, and Swedish. The words have lodged themselves in the artist’s consciousness after appearing in newspapers, in conversations and on TV, rearranging themselves over time. Influenced by Alison Knowles’ work The Big Book, which was conceived as a locus for contemplating personal evolutions, this book maps out the circuitous development of memory over time. The translations from Danish into other languages are by Alison Knowles, Anna Sjödahl, and Rúrí
