Summary:

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.00The 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. Different governments ? from kings to elected parliaments ? enacted laws tried to reverse it. After 200 years, they ?succeeded? in re-transforming the landscape back to a controlled state, especially suited for tourism.00However, today, the dune landscapes are considered ?natural?, and conservation efforts are now directed at preserving these. Obviously, any landscape is in a state of constant transition, and these efforts then beg the question: How do you preserve transition?00The project RAABJERG of Danish artist Rune Peitersen consists of a publication and a film. The film will premiere at the Biennale für Aktuele Fotografie in Mannheim (DE) in March 2022.
