Dein Erdanteil // Din teg av Jorden // A Theory of Land and Time

How much land do we have at our disposal per person in the world? I asked myself that question during the autumn of 2011 and since I could not find any information online that summarized those facts I decided to investigate it myself. It's 21 275 m², which is kind of hard to decide if it is a lot or not. Of those just over two hectares are less than a tenth, 1 995 m², arable land.

I had a small and very short exhibition on the 27th -28th of January 2012 where I showed a model of a 3/4 part of an island near my school, 21 275 m² in a 1:200 scale made by small stripes of land from different biomes.  I also served tea, coffee, beer and wine in amounts according to a seven billionth part of one week of the world production.

I moved to Berlin about a week later where I continued to work with the same theme. This time I wanted to focus on the arable land part of our alloted land area. Therefore I made a garden in Berlin.
