Raabjerg

Raabjerg takes outset in the changing landscape of northern Jutland (DK). The landscape changed due to climatological changes and human resource extraction, and the following attempts at ‘restoring’ and ‘reestablishing’ a ‘natural’ landscape. The narrative pivot point is the violent sand drift in the 16th-19th centuries; how it manifested itself and completely transformed the once fertile landscape into a barren wasteland. 

The book is an atlas of the work; a book format that complies and organizes geographical and astronomical knowledge. The design structure has an image-historical approach: archaeology images, cartography images, images from memory and photographic images. The material is categorized per cluster of imagery and shown each in a specific way. Together this is creating a cinematographic experience by using a Japanese binding for the book because the images are bleeding from one to the other page.
