During the last ice age, which ended 10,700 years ago, large rocks began to descend with the ice from the mountains of Norway and Sweden to the otherwise flat terrain of Denmark. An ice shield over the Scandinavian highlands, which had developed during the cold climate of the Ice Age, moved towards lower regions and brought with it clay, sand, gravel, pebbles and boulders, which melted free and shaped the Danish landscape. The monumental rocks have attracted the attention of people throughout centuries, and myths and folklore arose in the attempt to explain their presence in the landscape. Søndergaard’s images of the giant rocks hidden in the forests reproduce a physical presence so enormous that they cannot possibly be moved. Søndergaard utilizes the rocks as metaphors for both nature’s and humanity’s challenges, which occasionally require that one must tread new paths.
