Lynetteholm: an artificial island
Paula Veidenbauma
Denmark
Lynetteholm is an artificial island off the coast of copenhagen planned to be finished in 50 years. The project is yet another example of anthropocentric architectural expansion. I expanded it upon the lens of ecofeminism, by putting into question this human urge to colonize the landscape and species living in it. I used essay film as the medium; sometimes footage from Copenhagen zoo, symbolizing the colonial history and human supremacy, blends in with actual footage from the construction site. As the voice-over, I asked a friend of mine, to answer a question: "what would you put on an island if you had an island"?
