The project is a part of the group show Earth Homing: Reinventing Turf Houses that is currently on display in Seltjarnarnes to September 9th 2018 and is curated by Annabelle von Girsewald. The work was completed in a collaboration with students from Departments of Fine Art and Design.

Taking turf houses as a starting point of artistic experimentation “Earth Homing: Reinventing Turf Houses” realigns us with architecture and with our home. The exhibition project aims to redefine our posthuman relationship to the earth as a conceptual and material construction.
