Dannebog
Book Design | Photography
In spring 2024, I had the opportunity to study in Denmark, a country known for its cultural history and literary heritage. While living in the town of Køge, I created Dannebog, a photographic journey through Denmark inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s Under the Willow Tree. The story of a boy from Køge, whose story of setting out to explore the world contrasts with my journey to Denmark.
The book is dedicated to the Kristensens, whose warm hospitality made my time in Denmark unforgettable.

The double-sided accordion book, with English on one side and Danish on the other, reflects my dual experience as an outsider. Its name, Dannebog, plays on the Danish word for book, "bog," and the flag, "Dannebrog." Wrapped in red cloth and designed horizontally, it evokes the flag’s appearance, while vertical elements introduce tension, mirroring the challenges of adapting to a new culture.

The photographs capture Denmark’s landscapes, architecture, and daily life, paired with Andersen’s narrative to bridge past and present, fiction and reality. The contrast between the story’s outward journey and my inward exploration shapes the project’s unique character.
