Yesterday, Mads Greve and Søren Pagter met at DMJX to pack everything and get ready for moving to the new campus.
Due to the current Covid-19 situation it was an emotional experience closing down the photo department without any buzzing students around.

Mads Greve is his office. The room was originally a small classroom for the photojournalist students. More than ten years back the photo department had three staff teachers and two of them shared this office. When we went from three to two staff teachers, Mads got the largest single office at the school. Photo: Søren Pagter.
