Analogy 2022
The title references the line drawn between the meaning of words in different languages, and an idea of reality or being delineated by language (nationality).

The installation consists of textworks and photographs which deal with questions regarding boundaries, nationality, man’s relationship with language and the purpose of art. An interesting context is formed when fusing found photographs with words which can in some way be called unique. Perhaps the images look familiar, one could think that they were taken in Iceland. However, they aren’t, they have been enlarged and taken out of their original context. The words in the works have in common that they have been formed by Iceland’s history and remind of how the language has been woven by nature and closeness to it throughout time but also how we keep eluding both nature and language simultaneously. All the words were chosen with that in mind that they were untranslatable or at least difficult in translation.
