– Glen Adamson in the essay ’Forbidden Fruit’
”Triumph and catastrophe: in Espersens’ work they are dialectically related. You might even say that the Dane has embraced an ‘aesthetic of catastrophe’”
– Jan de Bruin in the foreword
“I’m still learning how to unlearn. To stay in the discomfort of not knowing the final result.”
– Morten Løbner Espersen in his essay ‘Complex simplicity’
