Opening I Water
Welcome to the opening of the exhibition Water at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography 6 November at 16:00-18:00. Free entry and refreshments. The exhibition Water is the seventh exhibition by members of FÓKUS, the Amateur Photography Club, which will take over the exhibition space SKOTIÐ at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography in 2026. It is also Fókus’s final exhibition of the year. The following explanation of water can be found on The Icelandic Web of Science: “Water is part of a continuous cycle: it evaporates from the ocean in lower latitudes, moves inland where it condenses and falls to the ground, then flows back to the sea through rivers and streams or seeps into the bedrock as groundwater, eventually returning to the ocean over time.” In this exhibition, photographers capture water in its many manifestations, both liquid and solid. We see it crashing against the shoreline, flowing toward the sea, or existing in frozen form, waiting for the sun’s rays to release it from its icy bonds. Showcasing their work in this the seventh series are as follows: ● Arngrímur Blöndahl ● Brynja Jóhannsdóttir ● Finnur P Fróðason ● Jóhann Guðni Reynisson ● Jóhanna Ingimundardóttir ● Lárus St. Guðmundsson ● Sigríður Jóna Kjartansdóttir
Seven exhibitions. Forty-seven photographers. One year of creativity. Follow along as we celebrate the passion and talent within Iceland’s amateur photography community. ♿ Access for the disabled is good. Service dogs are welcome at the museum.
