Wide Time on Earth
Banana Calendar
A Calendar to catalyse time based on human-centred seasons: periods that aim to increase the human perception of time. These seasons nudge and expose people to experiences, rather than relating to the sun-phases in the Solar calendar.
​
This calendar was created to fight the hardship of surviving the long and dark winter season in Scandinavia.
01
Manifesto
In Denmark, Banana trees are exotic.
But take a flight to the Caribbean, they’re everywhere.
Apples are exotic.
What is ordinary is just a matter of perspective.
It is extraordinary in another context, to someone else.
The better we understand where these people, these places, these values are, the better we can fullfil our time.
