The
Monsters-exhibition at Reykjavik City hall
opened in July of 2007.
With the soft translucent monsters, maps of
Iceland, hanging from the ceiling. I am
trying to create these ugly portraits.
Images of certain individuals, whose names I
won't say. But each individual will
recognize himself, as when one looks
into
back
next
a mirror.
You are as
you consume. The monsters seem to swim
around- and encircle the viewer like a
school of merciless oceanic animals, a flock
surrounding it's prey. Throughout the
building, the creatures reflect on the
various glass areas, penetrate the innards
of the building function, like the distant
spirit of a feeding frenzy. An all-devouring
monstrositiy of self indulgence, invasion
and revenge.
