bye bye iceland, soon i'll be home.
Reykjavik: i went to the asi museum and there was a samm but fantastic exhibition by photographer Katrin Elvarsdottir , photographs of trees, smoke, sheds (this last element reminded me of my iceland-work) but the peculiarity of it was that the whole room, walls, ceiling and floor were painted in very glossy paint. A notice on the wall before entering the room warned that the space created a disorientating effect, and it did, somehow the images of trees with smoke coming out were very simple but slightly scary, and associated with the high gloss somehow it did give me vertigo.
Soon i will be home.
With my 50 rolls of precious film, very scared at the idea of developing and seeing the final result.
But maybe it's not a final resul but a beginning...talking to Anna (flatmate/artist in residency at nes) she said that she sees the residency as important not much for the work she does during it but for the work she will develop after it and as consequence of it.
