Anthology of Memories
An atlas spreads out an anthology of texts, words, and notions about the Icelandic landscape. The result of one month of research during the residency consists of a collection of concepts that investigate the European historical and ideological definitions of 'landscape' on one hand, and the Icelandic relationship with landscape as a narrative practice through saga literature on the other.
Combining together academic papers, personal accounts, saga literature, and images taken from archive research or explorations around the territory of Korpúlfsstaðir, the atlas - as a productive space of thought - traces starting points for further reflections and works.
