The exhibition brings together the works of twelve Icelandic artists. Geographies and emotional states merge, inviting us to grasp distance—not as a mere metric, but as a medium that points to what lies beyond immediate comprehension, yet conveyed in a dense, tangible presence.
So dense that it could be sliced, yet what lies within cannot be fully grasped.
Distance, not as a yardstick, but as a medium that registers the movement of bodies in orbit, playing with the notion of beginnings and ends.

The ground trembles yet remains solid. This creates a state that is sometimes disorienting, underpinned by an expectation that is never fully fulfilled.
