Description
Unity of Knowledge - Scrapbook from the Niels Bohr Institute explores life in research and science at this world-famous physics institution.
Sculptor Rikke Raben has been part of the Institute's daily life for a decade. With her background in portrait sculpture, she merges selected historical black and white pictures from the Niels Bohr Archive, collages, and quotes, with new colour photos by photographer Anne Prytz Schaldemose. Schaldemose has depicted life at the institute with her camera for five years.
Serving as an un-chronological historical document and accompanied by an essay from author Peter Høeg, the combinations and sequence of images in the book create a visual portrait. This portrait aims to illustrate the curiosity and openness towards the unknown that has continued to prevail at the Institute since its establishment in 1921.
The book reflects the meeting between these three artists and the Niels Bohr Institute. To this day, the activities at the Institute are characterised by curiosity, openness, and cooperation. It is a place built upon the belief that we accomplish more and achieve better results through collaboration and knowledge sharing—through the Unity of Knowledge.
