The Gallery for Danish and
Intl. photography concentrates on the idea of the image. It stands on
the far edge of Copenhagen’s shopping street among a number of corporate
fast food restaurants and discount apparel stores. A space for images
is perhaps most fitting for a site so defined as a space for spectacle.
The galleries each take the form of a tray being slid into the frame of
the exhibition space, creating overlapping sectional space between each
gallery. Images are viewed both directly in each gallery and indirectly
as they catch the eye from different points inside the space as the user
moves through. In addition, the galleries protrude outside the building
above the public realm, making those outside the building a framed
display to those inside and vis versa. Each gallery is then treated as a
white box hanging in an environment of natural material rather than
polished.
