The T-shirt project

Why I started The T-shirt Project

The idea is a continuation of the joke going on between Macaulay Culkin and Ryan Gossling. But instead of sending t-shirts back and forth between only two people this chain is there as a reminder that everyone on this planet is connected to you in one way or another, you just don’t know exactly how. So smile and be kind to everyone you meet.

There was a time when you used the postal office to send letters. And back in those days there was this thing called a chain-letter. You would receive a chain letter that asked you to do something, and afterward you were supposed to send it to another friend. Well, this is based on the same principal, but this time around we send chain-shirts… You can say that it’s like connecting friends through t-shirt. And it’s fun.

Connecting through t-shirts

Juliet – Copenhagen, Denmark

Explosion – a chair of sort

When posed with the challenge of creating a piece of furniture from one pieces of MDF, my goal was not just to create a chair, or a table, or something ordinary. My goal was to create something that had never been seen, or even thought of before. My goal was to create something extraordinary.

And Yes, I met both the criteria set for the challenge, and the criteria I had set for myself. And Yes, it is comfortable. And Yes, it is a chair, an extraordinary chair.

Be Free – having papers

How many levels is there to restraint when you don’t have the papers displaying you heritage or that you really exist? You have no right to medical care, you have no right to education and you have right to leave the country you are in. Those are the most obvious restraints, but what about the ones that are not so obvious? What about your mental restrains, after seeing what you’ve seen, after struggeing to get where you are now? Hopefully it is safer, but you are not really safe until someone somewhere have filled out your papers, telling the word you really exist, first then are you getting closer to being truly free.
