During a three-month residency in Iceland, the artist met with key members, participated in rescue exercises and researched archival material such as newspapers, photographs and yearbooks at The National Archives of Iceland. By revisiting archives, she was able to make historical connection with the present, and she used documentary photography to reinterpret how the past was represented.
