About
iovermorgen
Studio
We, Anne Bea and Stine Dines, founded ‘iovermorgen’ (abbreviation: iOM!) (eng.: the day after tomorrow) on Valentine’s day 2022. iOM! is an experimental practice dealing with circular architectural projects stretching into the field of art.
The point of departure in our projects is existing places and materials approached in favor of prolonging their lives by inscribing them into new narratives and collaborations.
We use a former scooter shop as a laboratory for developing an alternative method for a gradual public transformation.
Take on people
We often initiate projects that are based on collaboration with others - an ongoing reflection around the social aspect of our practice. We believe in collaborations, whether it is with places, materials, or people - it gains value to our projects.
We invite other institutions, practices and people into our work. Collaborations contribute with knowledge, perspectives, adds depth and nuances to our projects. To involve multiple collaborators creates a network around our practice. An approach that seeks to prolong the life of a project, thus the life of materials, aesthetics, narratives, and atmospheres.
We ask: ”How can we invite people into the working process, and thereby, in the process, receive unexpected voices?”
With the aim to share ideas and sketches and early-thoughts with who-ever is interested; citizens, friends, neighbours, and partners, we have established a concept called ‘WIP’ (Work-In-Progress, with an ironic distance to Very-Important-People) - an event that enables a sneak peek into the unfinished project where we discuss and experience the work in progress. This enriches our projects with inputs that can be reflected in further development. A meeting between idea and reality.

Take on places
We approach a place with an interest in the existing. By existing we refer to the former and current use, aesthetics, narratives, and atmospheres of a place. This is a valuable collection of information - a collection consisting of layers of embedded intentions and narratives that have the potential to unfold. This encourages us to design new, alternative situations by responding to the existing.
We ask: “What would happen if...?”
Our interpretation of a place’s history and exisiting condition leads to acts of mimicking, unfolding and merging the characteristics in favor of prolonging and preserving the past into the future. All acts in different modes of temporality, always with a public dimension, often through the exhibition format. We do not need to build new. We need to respect the circumstances. The nature of a place. The premise of a place. Understanding its origin.
By proposing a new way of taking part in an existing sphere, we believe a new relevans will occur - one that demands less and enables more. We believe in prolonging and preserving and less in production.

Take on materials
We investigate the potential of using site-specific and existing resources. No matter the location, our ideas materialize from the exisiting. The scooter shop is the one place we return to - our bank of materials. We extract, refigure, and relocate the left-behind interior. We store leftover materials from other projects-sites next to the stuff from the scooter shop.
We ask: “What can we create with a surface, a hook, or a container?”
The material or object decides more than taste and trends. Our ideal of aesthetics accommodates the condition of the material, its history, and its afterlife rather than subjecting the material to a predetermined will. To value the idea more than the material, often requires use of new materials - that is what we try to avoid, by having a constant material dialogue in which the materials are given the first and final word.
