for Samtidskunst The City seen as an Ecosystem Cities are growing UN estimates that in 2007 the point will be reached when half of the worlds population will be living in cities. The concentration of people, resources, plants and animals within cities makes it relevant to see cities as ecosystems in themselves, even among the most active and concentrated there is. The website is a growing collection of information on plant life within the city, with focus on a part of inner city Copenhagen called Christianshavn. We made a series of walks with biologists and laymen to investigate and document the plantlife of the area. Read about The White Mans Footprints a plant that followed European colonization and spread to most continents, and about bushes with clouds of etheric oils that can explode when put on fire and in one instance, the story goes resulted in the burning down of a carport. About the consequences of urban renewal and the limited choices of plants that are used in cities and about all that which spreads by itself. As a part of the investigation soil samples of this part of the city is grown and can be followed online. The main installation was a public kitchen garden by the harbour front, read more about this in the menu nyttehave at the top of the page The project is made in relation to the exhibition: City Rumble with new relational and interventionist public art.
