The Infinite Landscape – about Inger Christensen’s childhood land in Vejle at Kunsthal Vejle. New site-specific artworks inspired by Inger Christensen’s Butterfly Valley – A Requiem from 1991.

From 2021 to 2025, Kunsthal Vejle has conveyed the story of Vejle’s great author, Inger Christensen (1935–2009). She is regarded as one of the most influential European poets of the 20th century. Her poetry combines formal precision—often drawing on mathematical systems like the Fibonacci sequence—with profound reflections on existence, nature, and language.

Jonna Pedersen’s work The Beginning is the Word and Bjørn Eriksen’s work Evo both take their starting point in evolution and development.
