Honeycomb is the name of a technique used in facade restoration of marble. In Denmark several buildings worthy of preservation is covered with marble from Greenland, extracted during the inter-war period (1930s). Among other buildings is Overformynderiet (The Public Trustee’s Office) in Copenhagen.
In the work Honeycomb Image/Archive Cladding, visual artists Eva la Cour and Tinne Zenner juxtapose their own film recordings of the renovation of Overformynderiet in Copenhagen (2019) with Jette Bang’s film recordings from the marble mine in Maarmorilik (1938). In the relation between Greenland and Denmark, the work explores different layers of images, facades and labour.
