As a young man, Leif Sylvester Petersen was apprenticed as a carpenter, but his apprenticeship was characterized by conflicts and clashes with both master and journeymen. Nevertheless, in 1959, the young Leif Petersen received his certificate of apprenticeship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I tended to explode and play tricks when others wanted to boss me around.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this conversation between Sylvester and radio host S\u00f8ren Dahl, it’s about youthful rebellion, the search for identity and artistic beginnings. And how the driving force behind those early rebellions became the foundation for his lifelong fight for freedom and integrity. This is the second conversation of four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four conversations in total<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leif Sylvester is a living piece of Danish history. For five decades, he has insisted on bringing art down from the pedestal and out to the people. The desire for freedom, humor and social indignation run like a common thread throughout Leif Sylvester’s work – and form the focal point of a total of four conversations with radio host S\u00f8ren Dahl:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
