Join us for an Exhibition Talk in Icelandic with Þórdís Erla Ágústsdóttir, the photographer behind the exhibition Heartstrings: intimacy in the everyday, on Culture Night, Saturday 22 August at 13:30 and 15:30. Free entry - Welcome!
In her photographs, Þórdís Erla seeks to capture the intangible aspects of people’s everyday lives within their homes and in other places that are important to them.
She focuses on the relationships and feelings between individuals. Nature is an integral element of the environment and affects emotions and behaviour. To illustrate how intertwined these two are, Þórdís Erla inserts powerful atmospheric images of the Icelandic landscape alongside the photographs of people.
Þórdís Erla has photographed the people—most of whom are close to her or individuals she knows well—over long periods of time. She selects moments from everyday life, small instances that tell a larger story.
This event is part of the Reykjavík City Museum’s diverse program for Culture Night.
Accessibility is good at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography, and guide dogs are welcome in the museum.
