NORDISK PANORAMA Nordic Short and Doc Film Festival

“Curating a show with the theme of belonging, identity, territory and memory comes really close to my own practise as an artist. That is an ongoing research I have been working on for years and been underlying in my work. I suppose in my role as a curator it is also something I have been interested in other artists work. Coming from Iceland where nature plays a big role in most people´s memories, as we are still so few of us, sharing this island, there is still space for wilderness and that is something that I think echos in many people´s memories and their feeling of territory.

In this selection I have selected work that I thought covered the theme in question and I hope it gives glimpse into Icelandic video art scene.”
