ÉG SÉ STJÖRNURNAR EN ÉG SÉ EKKI HEIMINN
Site specific work created for Gallerí Underpass situated down town Reykjavík, Iceland in 2022.
Funded by the The Icelandic Visual Arts Fund.
I see the stars but I do not see the world
All colors fade and dissolve in the dark
The underpass accommodates only shadow and light
In the outlines nothing but the mirror image of others
What propels the echo that once had a voice? What happens to a hand that wilts, vanishes, fades away?
(leaving behind only traces of touch)
What is the source of visions in a dream? (where all colors fade and dissolve)
I see the stars – but I do not see the world
