snapshots from Denmark in homage to Piet Hein
Piet Hein (1905-1996) was a Danish polymath (mathematician, inventor, designer, game inventor, poet). Hex, Tangloids, Morra, Tower, Polytaire, TacTix, Pyramystery, Soma cube are creative games developed by Hein. He created a new form of poetry, 'Grook' ("gruk" in Danish, short for 'GRin & sUK' - "laugh & sigh", in Danish), characterized by irony, paradox, brevity. He wrote over 10,000 of grooks, most in Danish or English, published in more than 60 books. Grooks are tangential with paradoxism.

Piet Hein advocated the use of the super ellipse curve in city planning (later in furniture design and other realms), which became the hallmark of modern Scandinavian architecture. Hein defined art as a way of thinking about all subjects. He asserted that the great cultural divide is not between the haves and the have-nots, but between the knows and the know-nots.

This photoalbum follows the instant photovideojournal VENI, VIDI, VIKING (in Romanian, 2018), and consists in a set of photographies taken in Copenhagen, Slagelse and surroundings during my short visit in Denmark in May 2018 - with scientific purposes.
DENMARK Denmark seen from a foreign land looks but like a grain of sand. Denmark as we Danes conceive it is so big you won’t believe it.
The photographies here hold as “title” almost exclusively a line, a few words, or a title extracted from Piet Hein’s grooks, and they should be consequently connectedly “read”&”regarded”.
Grook by — Piet Hein
The grooks created by Piet Hein are spiritbuilding mental improvisations, small aphoristic verses, revealing in a minimum of words basic truths about the human condition. Grooks are tangential with paradoxism.
snapshots from Denmark
While in Denmark, in my mind - the images fused with Hein’s grooks, also giving me a chance to honor his original personality. — Florentin Smarandache
