Entering Herhús – INTO Festival – Siglufjörður 2024
A new video/song installation made for the INTO Festival run by Alþýðuhúsið á Akureyri, curated by Aðalheiður S. Eysteinsdóttir and Will Owen. The international festival was a part of Reykjavík Art Festival this year. I got to make an installation into the Herhús Art residency, a beautiful old house close to the see. I worked with a song called Dagný, with a text saying the summer comes in from the sea and planned to make recordings the sea behind the house and bring it in. The working week in June before the opening a crazy winterstorm with snow caught us in the north by surprise so the work became quite ironic. The final touch of the installation was when Anders Visti from Denmark accompanied me playing the old organ in the house. The singing or humming is made in one take recorded with the visuals and played from many players so that harmony occurs at moments in otherwise a surrounding cacaophony.
