The Philosophy Of Flowers: An Interview With Morten Skriver
We met Morten Skriver, an essential European thinker, artist, and writer, in his childhood home near Copenhagen. Skriver has come full circle, slowly settling into suburban life with his family in a paradoxical escape from a capital that, to Skriver, has become suburbanized and lifeless. In his books, Skriver examines freedom, beauty, and human existence. Essential questions are: How can we live together? How can we restore wisdom into our common existence?

We were pleased to meet Danish artist and writer, Morten Skriver, in his childhood home for a conversation taking inspiration in Skriver’s books and thinking.
Skriver touches upon and combines many of the most important and universal human issues – from community and art (as a daily, sensuous practice), freedom and education to economics and religion (as a metaphysic understanding of existence), nature and technology.
Skriver is an essential European thinker, a spirited voice calling for a wiser and more beautiful future.
The Philosophy of Flowers is the title of his book from 1995 (unfortunately in Danish only).
