DUET WITH NORDHAVN
Nordhavn is Copenhagen’s latest district still under development with roaring trucks and its own brand new metro line. In the middle of Øresund. Glass, steel and high house prices, but also the port with fishing huts, taverns and harbour life.
Artist workshops and small-scale industries, miles upon miles of empty, windy quays that should be loaded with cruise ships. All places have their own sounds that I will challenge in 13 small duets. I walk from the centre of Copenhagen armed with my voice until my feet get wet.
