While waterfalls freeze and thaw alternately, you weigh eggs. You weigh 60 eggs and come to a conclusion, but know that it would be very different if you were to eat them. You think about it. If you sit and wait for the fog you will find that you can see the horses but not their feet. If, on the other hand, you climb the mountain, you sweat and move closer to the clouds. The clouds sparkle and speak: From pearls you are made… but you are disturbed and cannot hear the rest. Gravity pulls you in and asks you to slide down the hill. While you cascade down, you wonder how much 16 people could weigh in total. The calculation stings like the cold snow. Waterfalls freeze over, you go home and have an egg.

Reflections and results from a two-week stay in Seyðisfjörður inform a group exhibition of third-year students of the Fine Arts Department of the Iceland University of Arts. The group drew inspiration from the life and history of the village and produced new works on-site with the guidance of artist Gunnhildur Walsh Hauksdóttir. The subject matter ranges from water, wind, weather, clouds and love. During their stay, they have familiarized themselves with the village and visited Herðubreið Community Center, Geirahús, the LungA school, Print Work Seyðisfjörður, The herring smelter, the Technical Museum workshop. They received a lecture on archaeological excavations in the fjord from Rannveig Þórhallsdóttir and accepted an invitation and a story hour from local Pétur Kristjánsson about the origin story of Seyðisfjörður and the art of Dieter Roth.
