Den Gamle Grusgrav

Off-site exhibition in a gravel pit at Hallingskoven in Svendborg (DK), 2022


Den Gamle Grusgrav




Jeg ved ikke helt hvor gammel den grusgrav er. Jeg har prøvet at finde ud af det, men uden held.
Der er flere grusgrave i området ved Hallingskoven i Svendborg, men de er nu mere en form for parker omringet af nybyggede boliger. Grusgraven her bliver nu mest brugt af hundeluftere, børnefamilier, festlige teenagere og middelalderlige mænd på mountainbikes. Jeg bruger også stedet, især som en form for tidslomme, hvor jeg kan filosofere og tro at jeg er i rigtig natur. Jeg har brugt en del tid i grusgraven på det sidste og har fundet forskellige spor fra aktivitet som jeg har tænkt over...


The Old Gravel Pit




I don’t know how old this gravel pit is. I tried to find out but with with luck. There are more gravel pits in the area around Hallingskov in Svendborg but they are now used as parks, surrounded by newly build domestic housing. The gravel pit is now more used by dog walkers, families, party people and middle ages men on mountainbikes. I also use the space, as I kind of time pocket, where I can philosophy and think I am in real nature.
I have spend a lot of time in the pit lately and have found different traces from activity, that I have though about…
