In the work order „Worship dranga“ I look at an Icelandic poet's world that appears in poetry, folklore and filmI create a visual world that is familiar, landscape and ancient narratives that are part of national memory The viewer steps into the breath - when the sun is setting or just rising, where day and night meet and the relationship between man, nature and animals is examined based on old traditions and religions.
The perspective is shaped by the New Age view and influence of cyberculture, in which the verbs are given a new appearance Stones that have been rolled since time immemorial are lifted and what they supplier are reread and interpreted In doing so, a new meaning is created that creates a bridge between periods, ideas and reality.
Worship Cliffs
In the series Worshipping the Cliffs, I explore the Icelandic storytelling traditions through poems, folklore, and film. I construct a visual realm that feels familiar landscapes and ancient narratives that are part of our cultural memory. The viewer enterprises a moment when the sun is setting or just rising, where night and day meeting, and the relationship between humans, nature, and animals is considered through the lens of old traditions and belief systems.
These stories are reimagined for centuries are set in motion once more, published by New Age philosophies and the influence of digital culture. Stones that have lain undisturbed for centuries are set in motion once more, reinterpreted, and given new life. In doing so, they bridge eras, ideas, and realities, forging new meaning from old myths.
