Keeping tension
(2023)

    Description

Where the mall Amager Centret lies today, Copenhagens largest ropemaking facility was once found - in a past closer than we think. With the intention to ‘hack’ the mall and create other types of interactions and conversations a manual three-piece rope machine was built and brought to the mall. What’s essential when making strong rope is not so much the material or the thickness but the keeping of tension and the turning and twisting the threads in different directions. Without adding anything as such, the process changes the properties of the material, and a social situation not least, quite drastically.
