Visual artist Hanne Lise Thomsen has researched and collected material for INSIDE OUT ISTEDGADE, by selecting and visiting 40 apartments in Istedgade.
Residents who have lived in the street for several generations, as well as young families with children who have moved here, help create a common visual narrative that challenges our perception of the urban space.
The publication contains image documentation of the video installation Inside Out, which was projected in Istedgade in September 2015 on the gables of the Gasworks Road school. As well as pictures and stories from Istedgade residents, shop owners and professional actors about life in and around the street.
The publication was created with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation and the City of Copenhagen’s grant to the City’s beautification and general good. The steering group behind the project consists of representatives from the the Danish Arts Foundation and the City of Copenhagen: Teknik- og Miljøforvaltningen, Vesterbro Lokaludvalg og Københavns stadsarkitekt.
