The archive of Danish writer Rudolf Broby-Johansen (1900-1987) was given to the manuscript department of the Royal Danish Library in two parts. The first was a small collection of personal letters, manuscripts, and drawings that were delivered by his wife Aina shortly after his death. The remaining and far more extensive part was only rediscovered in 1999, sitting in a vacant room at the Danish School Museum, untouched. This comprised scrapbooks, images, illustrations, slides, poems, articles, notes, and more. 'Blood' is the outcome of an exhaustive and illuminating research project into Broby's archives by Line-Gry Horup, a graduate of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
