INSTRUCTIVE ANHOLT

Description

Presentation of research paper Instructive Anholt.
Situated equidistantly between Denmark’s Jutland peninsula and Sweden’s west coast in the Kattegat Sea (figure 1, left), the island of Anholt (permanent population 145¹) not only presents one of Denmark’s most remote municipalities, but more implicitly operates as a reflection of Denmark’s geological history, geopolitical situation, and environmental future: The island is a palimpsest towards an understanding of the forces that have shaped a country and simultaneously a live recording of its future. Visualizing these forces beyond the 1:1 is a critical process towards recognizing the power of place and proximity, and was at the heart of this studio-based investigation. What follows is a brief background on Anholt island, the methodologies of discovery undertaken by students to unlock information beyond the 1:1, and a reflection on the impact of process towards a better understanding of the influences found at the intersection of the proximate and the remote.
