Eva Ágústa Aradótt­ir│Queer and Autistic 

Reykjavík Museum of Photography

The exhibition _Queer and Autistic_ is a collection of photographs of queer individuals on the autism spectrum, with or without an official diagnosis.
Eva Ágústa Aradóttir is a photographer, who is herself trans and on the autism spectrum, has for the last few years focused on telling people's stories from her own perspective.


From a young age, she has observed how non-autistic people behave in society, and based on that, she has tried to change her behavior in order to fit in better with society. 

Autistic people are often outsiders due to the way they sense their surroundings. Today, Eva Ágústa uses this unconventional perception to her advantage in her photography. 

The exhibition is Eva Ágústa's attempt to make these two groups more visible, since they tend to be overlooked in society and become invisible. The way Eva Ágústa worked on the project was that she got to know her subjects on a personal level and from there she photographed the people in the environment where they are most comfortable.

Eva Ágústa mixes natural light and additional lighting to create the person that she sees and the individuals agree upon.

Eva Ágústa studied photography at the Reykjavík Technical College in 2009 and got her apprentice exam in the fall of 2011. She took a break from photography for a few years, but has found her niche in recent years and has taken on a few projects that tell people's stories, amongst other things.
