The story behind the photographs: When I met Percy Halling-Koch, DR´s employer in Copenhagen, in 1984, he had these photographs in his possession. He told me DR had taken them in Copenhagen shortly after he got them, in 1955, and when he left he´d asked him to have them developed. By the time he did, DR had left for Iceland. Halling-Koch told me the original film had been lost, but that DR might want the prints, could I taken them to him when I saw him. I showed DR the prints in 1986 and he told me to keep them. They document DR´s interest in „accumulations“ of all kinds, long before he began to explore the principle in his art.
