GEO'S TEORI
By Thomas Dambo
Hedehusene, Denmark · 2026

In a field outside Hedehusene sits Geo. He is a giant, and he is theorizing.

In his hand he holds a small metal bird, made by Georg, the founder of Tscherning, who was a sculptor as well as a businessman. Geo and the bird talk for hours. The bird has flown high above the world and seen it from angles Geo will never reach, and every time they talk his theory of how everything fits together grows a little wider. He is in no hurry. A good idea is worth sitting still for.

Geo is built almost entirely from reclaimed wood, much of it rescued from the yards of Tscherning, a Danish demolition and recycling company. Where most people saw torn down buildings and a pile of old timber, we saw the body of a troll waiting to be put back together.

GEO'S TEORI

I fantasien er vi frie og flyvende som fugle
Guldtænder er tit til mer besvær end hvis de gule
Har du rom og krummer, kan du rulle dig en kugle.
Glassene er ens, både når de tomme og de fulde.

Du kommer lige hurtig hjem om bilen har en bule
Kunsten den er både maleri og krusedulle
Der nok til alle sammen hvis du nøjes med en smule
Du finder nok på noget, hvis du glemmer hvad du skulle.
