M.M.

In the winter of 2017 I bought 45 canisters of negatives from an antique shop. The pictures span from 1929 to 1961 - a period that marks a historically important time for Denmark. Oscillating between the factual and the fictional, I tell the story of my great-grandfather’s, Mejnert Mejnertsen, role during the German occupation of Denmark (1940-1945) and later the Cold War. Family photos of M.M. mixed with the pictures from the canisters blend true stories with made up ones. The physical book emulates an old Hollywood movie script. Hidden in the French folded pages you’ll find the entire script written out.

M.M. comes in four different cover colours - moss green, dusty green (pictured), caramel brown (pictured) and dark blue. Please remark when ordering or send us an e-mail if you have a preference (otherwise we decide for you).

M.M. was on the Kassel Dummy Award shortlist in 2018.
