In a cold, wet and grey week of November 2009, performance artist Erik Pold hooked up with 4 personalities from the Copenhagen cultural scene, who through artistic and visionary practice, each have contributed to defining the city at the beginning of the new millennium.
Equipped with a video-camera and a microphone, Erik met up with Mads Nygaard, radio-producer and singer of indie-pop band Sterling, art restorer and curator Børge Igor Brandt, electronic DJ and composer Rosa Lux and queer artistic director of Live Art venue Warehouse: Miss Fish (a.k.a. Jørgen Callesen), to a talk about contemporary life in a city that several surveys and medias (including most recently Ophrah Winfrey) claims to be the home the happiest people in the world: the Danes.
