Souvenir Shop, Detail, 2010


There has to be an entrance in a picture. There has to be information
in the middle area that starts your imagination. What's happening in
the place that you can't see? If I put the flashlight to show you what
happens in the tunnel it would be a major disaster .

if I was a bird 
they would say 
he flies alone
he flies through the night
they would say, 
I fly higher and higher
no longer a bird*

THREE DUCKyS

CONSTANT
Untitled (Donald Duck), 1949

BANSKY
Rubber Ducky, 2006

ASGER JORN
The Disturbed Duckling, 1959
The title refferes to a fairytale by the author  Hans Christian Anderson, called "The Ugly Duckling"
Depiction of Duckling seems out of place, out of scale and in contrast with idyllic surroundings.
Jorn painted duckling on to canvas found on a flee market.
