10 Animals – Pétur Kristjánsson

Past Exhibitions
West Wall Gallery (Bistró)

Skaftfell presents an exhibition of new works by Pétur Kristjánsson on the West Wall of Skaftfell bistro.
Opening alongside List í ljósi, February 14th at 18.00

The images here, nine in total, are all of the same “object” viewed from different angles. The animation on the screen is also of this same object. When we see phenomena from multiple perspectives, it offers an opportunity to rethink our attitudes towards things and situations!

Pétur thanks Skaftfell for inviting him and assisting with exhibiting these works.
