"Cityscapes" is about culture. Culture in this context to mean "How do humans process the nature". But this processing is dialectical. Nature also processing "man". Modern glass towers and past pyramids are the same story. We focus on these, their splendor and forget in the same now that they are collective events, much more than individual performances.
Today we distinguish typically between "high” culture and "popular" culture. The "high" cocoon itself in the big cities decadent corners and are considered more important than the "popular", which does not belong in the big city but in the province or local community, it is not important seen by the notifier's eyes. It is an obvious paradox. Because the popular culture is the foundation, representing the collective potential of the refined culture that we encounter it in the prestigious galleries and museums around the world and metropolises. My cityscapes are thus a kind of organic cities that both grow out of the ground and return to this, it matures and grows at the same time, to show solidarity with this culture. Culture and nature are interconnected vessels. Culture and art a collective phenomenon. tmj

Hjernens natur
Ligner den moderne teknik mennesket Mere end vi selv ved, og hvordan er menneske, teknologi og natur viklet ind i hinanden? Kronik i Information den 5/8-2000. Med tilladelse fra Jakob Hansen, cand mag i dansk og ansat ved Kulturarvstyrelsen, kan jeg kun anbefale at læse artiklen: Hjernes Natur, bragt i Information 2000. tmj
- I byen
har mennesker samlet sig, forarbejder naturens råstoffer og
skaber en helt særlig form for bearbejdet natur - som vi også
gerne kalder kultur. Bykulturens udvikling forstærkes af den
teknik, der er til rådighed, og derfor trænger endnu en
sammenligning sig på hos Jensen(Johannes V. red.): "Byen er selv trængt sammen som
en Maskine." Byen ses således både som noget organisk, der
findes i naturen, og her som noget maskinelt, der er opstået i
menneskets kultur. Derfor kaldes maskinerne også "en omskabt, en
frembragt, smeddet Natur". ( citat: Jakob Hansen - Hjernens natur
