Mountains of Skin is a screening of 9 videos by 9 artists who are all born in Iceland but live and work around the world. They come from various artistic backgrounds – dance, writing, visual art and film-making – which clearly effects the way each one of them uses the video medium. Although their artistic aims span a wide spectrum, these videos share an extremely corporal approach to the expression of human existence.
Videos will be screened in the following order:
Rationalize by Páll Haukur Björnsson. Flaggskip by Sunneva Ása Weishappel, Elasticita by Katrín Ólafsdóttir.Domesticated and Surface by Bryndís Björnsdóttir. Shedrone by Gunnhildur Hauksdóttir. untitled by Haukur Már Helgason.You Can’t Stand in the Way of Progress by artists duo Angeli Novi ( Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir and Ólafur Páll Sigurðsson ). Sun by Unndór Egill Jónsson
One of the artists, Steinunn, will be available for q&a after the screening.
