From here, where we stand

we can look around us - to all sides

It moves when we walk

it changes in all times

These lines are taken from one of the most iconic songs in the history of Danish music. Released back in 1971 when everything looked different, “From here, where we stand” was both the title of the album and the song by Skousen & Ingemann. “From here, where we stand” is also the Danish title for the exhibition and project underpinning the three books lying behind me collected in their box. All of them richly illustrated with photos taken by the 14 photographers  with  different approaches to photography  who were chosen from  throughout the land  to document Denmark in transition. (“Denmark in Transition” also being the English and more descriptive title for the project).
