Outside is present is based on the often stereotype and one-sided media images from the world`s many focal points and from provincial places far out in the countryside. In Outside is present blend these two confrontational media representations, so a small village in Denmark is hereby transformed into one of the world`s focal points. The small well-known facets of the village thus change character in fictionalization and can either occur as everyday realisme, idyllic or scary, depending on the eye that looks: whether it is the individual in relation to the village, the village in relation to the capital, the capital in relation to the country or the country in relation to the world. A similar superfictional view of the world led Miguel de Cervantes` famous madman Don Quixote.
