I Am From Reykjavik
It’s simple really. I come to Bloemfontein, I find a spot, I build myself a shelter, I take it down. Another day I try somewhere else in the world. I’m trying to feel at home anywhere. I want to know what is required of a stranger in a new city and what is required of a city when the new arrival appears. There are questions about entitlement, identity, belonging, freedom, home. Part sculpture, part protest, part ceremony. The invitation is to witness me and your neighbourhood. Come and go, pass by, stay - it takes me a while. See how well Bloemfontein and I meet. It seems that someday soon we may all have to find elsewhere to live, how will that go? Part of Vrystaat Kunstefees @VKF Thanks to Horizon Onward Touring Funding

I Am From Reykjavik
Part protest, part-sculpture, part-ceremony. Sometimes there is an experience that is difficult to turn into words, and I am from Reykjavik is certainly one of those. The project is complex and meandering and requires some patience. It is a slow unfold of someone claiming a space, building a shelter, taking it down. A happening that the artist hopes you stumble upon, with your own emotional landscape and stay to patiently unravel what you witness.
