THE STAKE AREA IN MEMORIAM

The work series is inspired by motives of old fishing traps’ geometric yet organic perforated patterns. It is based on studies of fishing nets and traps used in the fishing harbour in the stake area in Sydhavnen in Copenhagen. The area has a unique biotope and was until very recently protected land, but has now been sold to real estate investors to finance the new metro infrastructure in Copenhagen, and the last fisherman has sold his boat.
