Nuuk

I have a tattoo on my back that I would like to use as a representation for this project. It’s a Greenlandic figure of a woman. I got it when I moved to Aarhus in 2012, and I think the meaning of it has changed multiple times over the years. […]

I wrote this book together with my father – Hendrik Mørch. The title, Kinaassuseq, means identity and is inspired by one of the poems my father wrote. He had already written these poems, 20 years ago. Back then, they were considered harsh and unfit for the public, and it was impossible to […]

I am from Narsaq, in the south of Greenland. When I think back to my childhood, the colonial structure was right inside my home. We weren’t allowed to speak Greenlandic around my father and when we ate traditional food, he would eat something else. I felt really misplaced, like I […]

I found it such a strange idea to provide a physical thing that says something about how I want to be remembered. What I keep coming back to is a concept instead of a physical object. What popped up in my mind is this idea of being a good person. […]

I decided to bring a notebook, a pen, post-its and a highlighter because they all represent one thing for me: EDUCATION. For me, it’s important to get an education, to gain knowledge and fight for a better future for myself and the coming generations. With the help of a pen […]

I wanted to choose something alive at this exact moment. When a flower dies, it becomes part of the earth and can arise again. In 50 years, all the many fashionable, short-lived things that we surround ourselves with these days will be considered outdated. They won’t matter anymore. This rose, […]

The camera on the left is an analogue camera that I borrowed from a friend. When it comes to the historical development of photography and moving pictures, this camera represents a point of departure. The one on the right is a digital model that I recently bought for my trip […]

When I was thinking about what to bring, these two things came up immediately. The object on the left is a necklace and it represents an Inuk (singular of Inuit). My grandparents are sheep farmers and they live in Sillisit, which is between Qassiarsuk and Narsaq in the south of […]

This book is a story about Greenlandic mythological creatures. My best friend Maria is the main author of this book, and I, along with my partner Robin and our friend Qivioq, worked as a research group on the project. This book was recently published but it has been in the […]

The future should know that I am not good with flowers. I am horrible at it. My fellow students and I bought this flower together for our shared office space. Currently, it is standing on my desk and I am responsible for it. That’s why it looks like that. Nevertheless, […]

This is a Fujifilm X-Pro2 camera with a 27mm pancake lens, and to the left you can see a 30-year-old 100mm Nikon lens. The camera has a retro-style housing but is actually a highly advanced mirrorless camera. I love the size of it because you can walk around and take […]

I got this guitar plectrum at the Atlantic Music Store here in Nuuk. Music is very important to me, and I think the plectrum is a good representation of that part of my life. My father has been playing the guitar since I was very little. He used to play […]

This bracelet was given to me when I was visiting Szeged, Hungary. Szeged is the home of my favourite men’s handball club, and you can see their logo on the bracelet. I was visiting the city for three days and stayed with a Hungarian family that I had met via […]

This is a picture that I made myself when I was in art school. It is a Cyanotype which refers to the process of making these kinds of pictures. It is a bit like developing film, and you have to use chemicals that turn blue when the sun hits them. […]
