3 Years of Summer is an installation and a publication about the looming climate apocalypse made by Osvald Landmark.
The installation consists of a melting ice-rune-stone and a large scale video projection.
Both pieces are an interpretation of the old Nordic myth of apocalypse: Ragnarok.
The publication is an anthology featuring juxtapositions of texts like the UN-climate report and the Nordic Sagas both containing eerie warnings of climate and social breakdown.
In this project Osvald collects and presents means of relating to the world in new ways by “looking back” in time, specifically at Nordic history and art from before and after the introduction of Christianity in Denmark. It follows the thesis that our past also speaks into our future – out of time.
