Tucked away from the rest of society, the rest areas along the highways are meant to be a much-needed respite on the way to one’s final destination. In Denmark, there are 148 rest areas with open toilets supervised by the Danish Road Directorate. But these paved oases also have a life of their own, although hardly anyone stays more than 10 minutes. In his project Are we nearly there yet? Mathias Eis has visited strategically selected rest areas, preferably those that are still run independently of the big chains serving classic Danish dishes. The project creates a nuanced contemporary image of Denmark and the people who are either at work, traveling through the country, or just stopping at a rest area as a break from everyday life.
