The vibrant facade decoration of Copenhagen's Palads Theatre, unveiled in September 1989, is one of Poul Gernes' most famous works and one of the most debated pieces of public art in Denmark. The book is not a conventional art historical review but an experiment in art communication and a contribution to a current cultural debate. It includes three artistic contributions meant to activate the decoration: a dizzying drone flight through the tower and across Axeltorv, presented as a 102-page flip animation of stills; photographs taken on a snowy February morning; and a short story about loss and money built around Gernes' plant motifs. Essays look at the decoration's place in contemporary aesthetics and its urban surroundings, a defence of the work is included, and so is a letter from Gernes' correspondence with the city architect. The aim is to see the work from new perspectives and to document it while it still exists.
