Walking with Art as Your Compass: Søren Lose og Thomas Seest

How does the landscape change when we experience it through art?

Join artists on walks through Køge’s hidden landscapes, forgotten histories, and remarkable stories. With your body, senses, and curiosity as your compass, these walks invite you into new encounters with the places we move through – and are connected to.

Four artists and artist groups invite you to experience poetic rituals, staged excavations, dancing landscapes, and hidden plant life. Together, they explore the inseparable connections between people, nature, history, and place.

Søren Lose & Thomas Seest: Støvdrager Vandring (Dust Bearer Walk)

Join a walk through the hidden movements of plants and the deep connections of life. Together, we follow the traces of seeds, bacteria, and organisms that shaped the world long before humans left their mark. The route passes through rewilded landscapes, giant logistics centres, and ancient burial mounds. Along the way, we smell, taste, dig, and forage as we explore the cycles that connect soil, body, landscape, and time.

Visual artists Søren Lose and Thomas Seest have collaborated for many years on large-scale, site-specific projects exploring understandings of nature, rewilding, and humanity’s impact on ecosystems.
