Further Information

The work

The work, Hvassast úti við sjóinn, is comprised of a series of photographs and a text piece, which together evoke the quiet and forgotten beauty of the Icelandic everyday. The photographs were made in various places around Iceland and show a familiar yet peculiar world. The text piece is a list of Icelandic weather words that I have been collecting for a while, such as hundslappadrífa (dog-paw-snowing), sori (filth) and gluggaveður (window-weather).

The book builds on my first solo exhibition, Hvassast úti við sjóinn, which opened in Listasafn ASÍ in October of 2014. Now I aim to present the work in a new manner using the book form. By becoming a book the work acquires newfound freedom and voice. The book owner will have in his or her hands a beautiful and carefully made piece of art. The book design is in the hands of Lóa Auðunsdóttir.
