Nearly three weeks after my return from Iceland, the experience is still sinking in. Percolating, so to speak. Like a good cup of coffee I hope that, when po(u)red, it'll be well balanced, rich, energising. Sorry, can't resist a cheesy metaphor.
Many of the things I made and thoughts I had were about pairings - here+there, left+right, now+then, words+pictures. My final book project contained a series of 'stereoscopes', paired photographs that claim to be more accurate than the sum of their parts. Interested in expanding and exploring the sandwiching of time and place implied by the multiple exposure photos I've been making on my phone, I ran a roll of film through a camera donated by a friend, both at home in London and at home in Seyðisfjörður. The resulting layers are further complicated by the film lab's...idiosyncractic...scanning system.
While I think on my time in the Austurlands a bit more, here are some pairings from that roll of film.
