- ‘Curating an Egalitarian Territory’ is a design project is sited in Copenhagen, Denmark, critiquing its realm of egalitarianism, assessing what ‘territory’ might mean within a context based upon equality. Denmark is considered to be one of the world’s most egalitarian countries – yet the project asserts that an underlying exclusivity makes the country inherently hierarchical in society.
The project is initiated by a cross examination of the city of Copenhagen, with regards to territory and archaeological flux. The resultant drawing demonstrates the simultaneity of the overlapping hierarchies that exist within an egalitarian society, demarcating frames of the city such as bank branches, emergent municipalities, reclaimed land and the ever-growing cycling territory. The project hence emerges from this edited and layered interpretation of the city.
