445. FOTOVOGN / 445. PHOTO WAGON

‘Provinsielt’ er sjældent et ord, der bliver brugt rosende om noget som helst. Imidlertid nærer denne designer en kæmpe kærlighed til sin opvækst i provinsen, og ønsker derfor at fortælle historien om æblerov, sænkede biler, traktortræk og gårdbutikker gennem sin kollektion af smykker. Som designer oplever han en stor kløft mellem det højkulturelle univers, der dominerer designverdenen og populærkulturen i provinsen. Med kollektionen udfordrer han den gængse opfattelse af høj- og lavkultur, og ligestiller de to fænomener med udgangspunkt i sit eget syn på provinsen.

‘Provincial’ is a term that rarely has any laudable connotations. This designer, however, deeply cherishes his upbringing in the provinces. Hence, through his collection of jewellery, he wants to tell the story of apple snatching, lowered cars, tractor pulls and farm shops. As a designer, he experiences a big gap between the high-cultural universe that dominates the design world and the popular culture of the provinces. His collection challenges the prevailing perception of high and low culture and equates the two phenomena based on his own view of the provinces.
