GUIDING STRINGS – Nordhavn, Copenhagen : CREATIVE ACTIONS

GUIDING STRINGS – Nordhavn, Copenhagen

FreePORT in Nordhavn, Copenhagen
Citizens meeting, September 11, 2007

21.600 meters of COLORFUL GUIDING STRINGS were tracked by CREATIVE ACTIONS through FreePORT Nordhavn, Copenhagen, DK on September 11 2007 as 11 hours ritual transformation of the architectural city space, before and under the Citizens Meeting. Approx. 500 citizens of Copenhagen attended the Citizens Meeting on FreePORT cityspace development concerning the question: How does Copenhagen avoid yet another city area, with no feeling of life, when development of Nordhavn city space begins?

The colorful string tracks worked as visual metaphoric manifest for The Human Factor*, stubbornly insisting on The Human Factor* as most important measurement in relation to city space development.
*The Human Factor = Human flesh, blood, veins, body scale, movement, perspective, perception, conception and consciousness flow through out a specific city space over a long period of time.
