Introduction
The photographs are shot in Tivoli Gardens, an old amusement park in the middle of Copenhagen, Denmark, where people of all different nationalities and ethnicities meet in a world of fantasy. An imaginary Orient with fake palaces and minarets is the backdrop of the place. It’s a surreal world, yet it mirrors the dreams and fears of life outside the entrance. Fiction versus Reality, (Middle)East versus West, war, ethnic/religious tensions and the whole idea of imagining another world.
