If you are Danish – or able to read it – we recommend this peculiar and humorous poem by Martin Glaz Seerup called “Marken” (The Field). The book’s text was originally installed in art galleries in Copenhagen and Los Angeles and was in 2010 published in its full length. ‘Marken’ is the voice in the book and ponders innocently & questioning about some very mundane and familiar issues.
“Marken har været velklædt det meste af sit liv, marken er stadig velklædt, altid iført noget passende, noget neutralt, noget afmålt, noget almindeligt, men altid med den lille ting, det dér ekstra, en sjov detalje, noget farvet eller noget arvet eller noget andet.”
“Marken tænker på ordet proprietær og på ordet prokurist, den ved ikke hvad de betyder.”
