Documenting Three Time Glitches / Copenhagen Chronotopes

On August 20th, 2024, three unexpected time glitches occurred at intervals of roughly 3 seconds in the Kalvebod Brygge waterfront area in the Vesterbro part of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Once filled with factories, this part of the city has changed a lot over the years. Now, it has many new office buildings, hotels, and places for relaxation and bathing as a result of a project aimed at securing adequately clean water.

Dybølsbro Station, nearby, is an important travel hub in Vesterbro. Opened in 1934, this S-train station links different parts of Copenhagen, making it a key spot for travelers. The station has four platforms under a bridge that connects Kalvebod Brygge and Havneholmen with the rest of Vesterbro.

A standout near the station is Kaktus Towers. Designed by the well-known Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), these twin towers are unique with their cactus-like look.

Each tower is 80 meters tall and has a hexagonal layout. Together, Kalvebod Brygge and Dybølsbro Station, along with the striking Kaktus Towers, show the blend of old changes and new city growth in Copenhagen.
