With my practice I document the decline of rural living in Iceland and pose the question why farmsteads have been abandoned en masse. What is the connection between the abandonment of vast parts of the countryside and the abandonment of our connection as humans to nature and spirituality?
By using expired polaroid films which I modify and manipulate manually with all sorts of spray on chemicals I achieve an ethereal feeling, giving the viewer the illusion of looking back in time. But time isn't linear in my work, rather it's like a memory of a dream, or of an alternative past that never truly existed.
I juxtaposition the empty houses with the human beings. Are we, like the houses, just empty vessels devoid of spirit in the modern age?
Head over to my online shop for easy purchase.
All my prints are limited to 5 numbered and signed prints in each size, printed on UV protected films which are glued on to aluminum plates, ready to hang and easily cleanable with a damp cloth. I'm told these prints last way longer than any paper prints.
Available in sizes;
80x60cm / 32x24"
40x30cm / 16x12"
Or contact me for custom size (bigger or smaller)
All prints carefully packaged. Tracking number provided once print is shipped.
