Hall­gerður Hall­gríms­dótt­ir│Landscape (2012)

Reykjavík Museum of Photography

Ever since Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir finished her BA in Fine Art Photography in spring 2011, she´s been engaged in various projects. She has participated in the international photography project "European Borderlines" and is one of the young artists in the exhibition "Fresh Faced + Wild Eyed", which was on view at the The Photographer's Gallery, London in September 2012. Also, along with photographer Páll Stefánsson, she hosts a new reality show for photographers on Icelandic TV channel Skjár1, starting early next year.  

In her exhibition "Landscape (2012)", Hallgrímsdóttir investigates webcams and their purpose. In a text she says: Mechanical eyes of webcams staring at Icelandic landscape the year round, put in their places for practical reasons, not to record beauty. Sometimes they can’t help but doing so but mostly their view is dull. Their subject, both man-made and pure nature, is constantly changing due to weather, time of day and year. The work is a collection of long and short moments, accumulated in the warmth of the artist´s home, moments distorted by various resolutions, lighting conditions and predetermined frames.“

Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir (b. 1984) lives and works in Reykjavík. She graduated with a BA honours degree in Fine Art Photography from Glasgow School of Art in 2011. She also holds a BA degree in Fashion and Textile Design from Iceland Academy of the Arts 2007.
