bio
Sigurdur Gudjonsson is a visual artist from Iceland, working primarily with
video
and photography for his installations. He studied at the Iceland Academy of
the Arts
and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna, and this
seems to have had an effect on his imagery, which mixes the mythical
landscape
of his native land with the dark atmosphere of Viennese aktionism. The video
narratives
of Sigurdur Gudjonsson refuse linearity and work with superimposing cuts in
which sound,
mostly taken while filming, becomes also an important element for his broken
narratives.
He plays with the games of light on the Icelandic landscape and the violence
of the weather.
Sigurdur Gudjonsson lives and works in Reykjavic.
