Photos by Ólafur Lárusson

"The galerie has four small rooms. In each room, I installed one piece. Each piece consisted of two main elements in interplay.

Room I. The eye-form on the photograph was dug by hand in a clay-rich soil. The soil was collected, dried and used to form the “tear” on the floor.

Room II. (Title: Cross). Two rows of photographs (Lines), one horizontal (of the sea) and one vertical (of fire) were facing each other on opposite walls. The imagined crossing point of the lines is marked, on “sea-line” with fire (soot remains on glass) and on “fire-line” with seawater (salt remains on glass). These details are not visible on photos.

Room III. (Title: Composition). On the wall is a colour photo of a rainbow. From the ceiling hangs a (functional) swing. On its seat, I applied a row of colours with a brush and bicolour.

Room IV. (Title: Pattern). A heap of small stones that I had picked at random in different places and brought together on that table. In an accompanying text, I offer each visitor to take one stone away with them."
