a travel back in time - part three

 

Two very different stories told through two more buildings at Den Gamble By in Aarhus.

The first is a gynaecology clinic, the first to open in South Jutland back in 1974. You can tell we're still in the 70s from the orange furniture and the thoughtful provision of a much-used ashtray in the waiting room.

The clinic itself is brought to life by a shadow-show projection of a lady undressing and dressing in a curtained booth. The stark contrast with the examining couch and stirrups next to it speaks poignant volumes about both vulnerability and emancipation.

The second building close by provides welcome relief. A 70s traditional bakery stuffed to the gills with cholesterol-rich goodies and super-sugared sweet-treats!

And so we leave the 70s in search of a glimpse of the future...
