Tanya St-Pierre & Philippe-Aubert Gauthier and Julie Tremble

Out of Perfect Context — Úr fullkomnu samhengi

From July 3 to August 28, 2025
📍 The Factory (Hjalteyri, Iceland)

An initiative developed in collaboration between Factory (Hjalteyri, Iceland) and Dazibao, Out of Perfect Context plays upon apparent incompatibilities and accentuated decontextualization to explore new forms of collaboration and exhibition-making. Starting from our relationship with nature and the role it plays in culture, the project proposes a meeting between urbanism and wide-open landscapes, image-making practices drawn from reality and others created entirely digitally, as well as an intersection, a confrontation even, between a fragile, endangered nature and an idealized, magnified nature. Two exhibitions will be presented, one at Dazibao, featuring works by Gústav Geir Bollason and Thorbjörg Jónsdóttir, and the other at Factory, featuring works by Julie Tremble and the duo Philippe-Aubert Gauthier and Tanya St-Pierre.

At times looking in from the outside and at others out from the inside, Out of Perfect Context underlines how sites and built environments influence our perception, and the ways in which we are part of the living world — or not.
