An installation in the Cultural Center of Grindavík. This installation tells a story about an electrician. He is just minding his job. On the ladder he has attached a note, stating: “Went shopping – be back soon.” On top the oven is a travel guide from Icelandair. The electrician is dreaming about the summer vacation with his family
Eight governmental salary slips (80cmx60cm)
Five office workes CV’s
Three “be back soon” works. Droped upstairs, droped by the exhibition, droped to fetch a lightbulb.
Family car
My car and my family had been living together for a long time when I put it up for sale in a group show of young artists at Kjarvalsstadir. Gathering from the various things left inside the car the viewer could get a good idea about its owners
I did this installation with a friend of mine, the composer Thorkell Atlason. The pictures show a kitchen in an old defunct house. In one of them, a young boy can be seen hurriedly eating his meal to get back out again to play. The radio is playing music composed by Thorkell.
