Grundtvigs Kirke










Visited "Grundtvigs Kirke" in Copenhagen, built by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint in 1927. A beautiful, rare example of expressionist church architecture in which Klint combined the modern geometric forms of Brick Expressionism with the classical vertical of Gothic architecture.

According to French novellist Georges Perec the bed is "the individual space par excellence" and also the most personal and resilient of possessions: "the bailiffs don't have the power to seize your bed." (from Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, p 16).
