About the artists 

Bryndís Björnsdóttir's (Dísa) practice is based on creating poetic connections through interweaving of themes such as landscape, technologies, bodies and economic power. In the last years her outputs have revolved around decolonizing embodied matter of dark ecologies and readings of land.

Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir is a visual artist. At the core of her work is the humanimal’s inner existential struggle – and how it confronts and combats the structures that surround it – or surrenders to them.

In 2018 Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir was nominated as “The Artist of the Year” in Iceland. In 2021 she got The Richard Serra Award for her contribution to sculpture.
