Ugliness And Hope
Ugliness And Hope

“We’ve become prisoners in a self-made hell in which progress implies that our every single action leads to the deterioration of our own existence. We’ve become entangled in ugliness. And that might be our hope: the demanding necessity of change.” Morten Skriver, author and visual artist, has moved back to his childhood home in the suburbs of Copenhagen. Under a looming ecological and aesthetic disaster, he finds a glimmer of hope.

The Philosophy Of Flowers: An Interview With Morten Skriver
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?
