USER'S REFERENCE: KEYWORDS TO
THE BUNKER SECRET PROJECT




LEAD      (Chemical symbol: Pb) Heavy metal, used for technical, medical and military purposes, e.g. as material for making weights, sinkers or radiation protection shields.

LIGHT      Energy form originating in the Sun and other stars, distributed on Earth by a multitude of natural or artificial devices, such as mirrors and light projectors (cf. Fig. 16).

German bunker room (formerly secondary command central), located 8 m below the present Fyrklit Hotel (near the BUNKER secret site), now partly inundated. The picture shows German wall paintings from WW II, representing nostalgic dream landscapes of the "Alpentraum"genre.		   LIGHTHOUSE      The Hirtshals Lighthouse was initiated on January 1, 1863. Soon afterwards, the town previously known as Lilleheden was renamed Hirtshals after the Lighthouse. 144 steps lead to the top of the Lighthouse, 67 m above sea level, the Lighthouse itself extending to a height of 35 m. On April 9, 1940, the Lighthouse was occupied by German troops, but in due time Lighthouse keeper Agerskov succeeded in dismounting the lenses which were kept secluded in a secret place until the end of WW II (3 °).

LIGHT VELOCITY      Universal physical constant (symbol: c) which, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, defines the upper limit of velocity (since a hypothetical process of a greater velocity would cease to be observable, eluding such fundamental physical categories as space and causality. c can be measured to just about 299.793 km/s.

LILLEHEDEN      (Dan. toponym = Eng. Little Heath). The copyhold farm Lilleheden was built in rough and desolate lands, on poor soil. In the 18th century, the name of the farm was extended to the whole region now known as Hirtshals. The name of Lilleheden is still attached to a plantation, a local railway halt, etc*.

   *J. P. Nielsen, Historien om Hirtshals, Hirtshals 1976, p. 10, 83.
    MARRAM GRASS      (Dan. n. hjælme) rather tough species of dune vegetation, regularly used to avoid sand shift (cf. marehalm).

MAREHALM      (Dan. n. = Eng. lyme grass). Used in the sandy regions of Vendsyssel to keep the dunes from shifting. By Danish law of 1539, the damaging of lyme grass and other dune vegetation was strictly forbidden (cf. fig. 18).

MARERIDT       (Dan. n. = Eng. nightmare). Dream of uncanny content, accompanied by sensations of disturbance and anxiety (4 °). Particularly frequent among members of the BUNKER secret society during days of secret installation and initiation (cf. fig 22).

MIRROR      Reflective surface produced either naturally (smooth surface of water, ice, etc.) or artificially (polished metal, glass with silvery, metallic or amalgam backing, etc.). Some perverted creatures, such as vampires, show no reflection in a mirror (cf. fig 21).

MIRROR STAIRWAY      Symmetrical aggregation of ascendant and descendant stairs along the same rectilinear axis. The ascendant half of a mirror stairway leads to nothing but the starting point of the descendant half (which, in turn, might be regarded as ascending, when approached in the opposite direction). In other words, a mirror stairway is defined by a summit point, from which no other movement than descent is possible. Due to this property, the mirror stairway has often been allegorically interpreted as the "scale of life", the summit representing the imperceptible "turning point" where progress and prosperity is overtaken by decline, debilitation and death ( °).

Fig. 20 		  MOSQUITOES       Apart from the BUNKER secret, the BUNKER site is primarily inhabited by mosquitoes, such as the Anopheles maculipennis and related species of the Culicidae (cf. fig. 20).

MUSSEL      (Lat. Mytilus edulis, Dan. Blåmusling). Edible, marine bivalve, size about 4 cm. Abondant along Danish shores, the mussel was traditionally used as bait by the Hirtshals firshermen. The by-product of this procedure, consisting in large heaps (cf. bunke) of empty shells, was strewn about the fishermens' cottages, creating a beautiful, almost reflective surface of blue, white and pearl.

NUMBER      The number of the BUNKER secret society is 10 (including the secret).

ORCHESTRA      1) In the ancient Greek theatre = the circular space in front of the scene; in the ancient Roman theatre = similar space reserved for persons of distinction6.

Orchestra		   2) A group of any number of performing musicians.
An orchestra in the sense of (1) can be seen as part of the ground plan of the BUNKER secret site (cf. fig. 24). An orchestra in the sense of (2) - consisting of 1 performer only - can regularly be heard at Skipperkroen, Hirtshals (cf. fig. 23).

OUTPOST      Site for observation purposes, located at the extreme boundaries of a territory.

REPRESENTATION      Since being - as opposed to appearance - cannot be exposed as such, a work of art or science necessarily acts as a representation of being. Conversely, any appearance or form can be regarded as a representation. The logic of representation is an intricate one: without presentation, there can, of course, be no representation; but the implication holds the other way around too: any presentation is a representation as well. Thus, it appears that one has to choose, so to speak, not between 1 and 0, but between 2 and 0: either presentation necessarily accompanied by representation - and vice versa - or nothing at all.

RUSSERBAKKEN      (Dan. toponym = Eng. Russians' Hill). Site close to Tornby (about 5 km south of Hirtshals) presumed to be the burial site of Russian seamen of the ship "Pevoj", wrecked off Hirtshals Point in 1758.
