Free Entry to the Mu­seum of Pho­to­graphy on Mu­seum Night

Welcome to the Reykjavík Museum of Photography on Museum Night, Friday 6 February from 18:00–22:00. Free admission and everyone is welcome! Sleeping Giants is an exhibition by Kristján Maack and is about the fateful times in which we live. In nature, there are sleeping giants that are slowly awakening. Deep within nature’s core, time has stood still for millions of years. Time is preserved there, along with the essence of nature itself. For millennia, water, oxygen, and all the particles of the land have been stored in the perfect place—compressed under their own immense weight to preserve their origin. In darkness and cold, the core is best preserved. Time has stopped for millions of years, waiting for what will happen next. The mass and its tremendous weight affect everything in its surroundings, both nourishing and suffocating the entire environment through its presence. Icelandic glaciers are disappearing. If you look deep into the core of a glacier, you can find everything that once existed: atmosphere, water, dust, flora, and even the smallest particles of the universe. All of this is stored in nature’s freezer. Movement is the title of the first exhibition by members of Fókus - Amateur Photography Club, which will take over the SKOTIÐ exhibition space in 2026. The word movement can be interpreted in photography in many ways — for instance by freezing motion in an image, following movement with the camera, or photographing various “movements” in society, such as the labour movement or protest movements.
