As a complement to the exhibition Out of Perfect Context — Úr fullkomnu samhengi, a video program featuring a work by Gústav Geir Bollason and one by Thorbjörg Jónsdóttir will be presented after their Meet the artist on Saturday April 26, at 5 pm. A unique opportunity to discover more of the artists’ work!

Program — 70 min. 26 sec.

Thorbjörg Jónsdóttir and Lee Lorenzo Lynch, Konni (2022) — 10 min.

Konni is the last child inhabitant on remote island Grimsey, north of Iceland. The dying Arctic island, whose only school closed its doors in 2020 after serving the population for nearly a century, now boasts a population of only 16 people. Part character study, part portrait of the island, Konni attempts to reconcile the use of ethnographic film in order to document societies and persons in their most fleeting moments.

Gústav Geir Bollason and Clémentine Roy, Carcasse (2016) — 60 min. 26 sec.

Carcasse is set in an undated era, or maybe in a coexisting world devoid of the forms of energy sources and technology as we have grown attached to in contemporary society. On a deserted island a group of people are working with the relics of a lost world to build a new one. Between documentary and fiction, Carcasse invites us to inhabit this landscape and to invent it with them. To renew relationships with the landscape.
