As the title suggests, the work deals with the relationship between present, past, and future—more specifically, with how the past can be made comprehensible, among other things, by introducing a different perspective on the future. Featuring both an Ice Age landscape and remnants of Viking settlements, I believe this is what Skjoldungernes Land, as a national park, is essentially about.

My proposal was therefore quite simple: a gigantic meteor has landed gently—an impossibility in itself. Perhaps this mysterious stone could become the origin of a new myth told by the locals, much like the tale of King Skjold. As an infant he was miraculously found on a deserted, incoming ship, placed on the Tingsten – the central stone of the ancient assembly where the community gathered to decide laws and settle disputes – and crowned king of Skjoldungerne.
