The mobile/movable “Banana Factory” was a simulation of a small factory building using an inflatable form. Inside the “factory” was a production of dried sliced bananas that were sold outside. The whole installation was situated along the harbour.

“Each human being has at one point or another his or her own sublime moment, which at its culminating point explores in pure beauty. At Vesterbro Banana Factory, we belive that the same is true for bananas. The sublime moment for a banana is, we belive, when the banana has reached a proper maturity and soft consistency. By drying the banana, we are increasing this sublime moment, giving it the possibility to last like each sublime moment is longing after, but one can only cry when one relizes that it is not everlasting. Yes a banana tastes exquisite when it is dried! The shape! The colour! The smell! Oh how we love bananas
at our factory! We are proud to present to you this high quality product, even though we are just simple workers trying to pick wonderfu bananas and giving them their sublime moment.”
