Documentation from the exhibition Blue Origin last summer with Groupware.
The first two pics show photographic renders of grain silos at Hjalmarsgård, Samsø, a farm that is part of the 800 year old Brattingsborg Estate, where Jeff Bezos ancestors used to work as peasants.
The last photos are of so-called “jalousiskabe”, or jealousy cabinets, which use a mechanism invented by Leonardo Da Vinci, that only allows them to be opened from the outside. The cabinets are big enough to fit a, slightly cramped, human being.
Documentation from the exhibition Blue Origin last summer with Groupware, a 16 minute film about Jeff Bezos origins from the Danish island of Samsø.
The story chronicles the protagonist’s descent from a psychologically bewildering trip to space, prompting an intense search for stable ground in a place that was once called home.
We are screening our film Blue Origin this Saturday, the 26th of August in Copenhagen at Vermlandsgade 61.
Opening at 6pm.
The film traces the mental descent of a Danish-American entrepreneur as his recent journey to space has caused his sense of self to unravel. In an effort to regain control, the young entrepreneur decides to seek out his family roots on an isolated island in the tiny Kingdom of Denmark.
