Rune Peitersen - Raabjerg - JAP Sam Books 2022
“RAABJERG” explores the changing landscape of northern Jutland (DK) from the last Ice Age until today. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, climate change and human extraction of natural resources led to violent sand drift, which transformed the once fertile landscape into a barren wasteland. Different governments – from kings to elected parliaments – enacted laws to try to reverse it. After 200 years, they succeeded and started reintroducing plants to the dunes, thus slowly transforming the landscape back to its previous state.
