Sunday, 6.10.2024, 10:00 to 18:00 Sigurður Guðjónsson: Scopes of Inner Transit

Sigurður Guðjónsson's art is a play with the boundaries of those realities that lie outside our everyday sphere of perception. 

In his impressive time-based media works, the Icelandic artist repeatedly deals with mankind's technological achievements, which also serve as tools or media in his art. Guðjónsson shows these objects from perspectives that make their presence appear intensely intimate and enigmatic at the same time. In microscopic close-ups, he observes movements and forms that result from the contact that objects make with their environment. The examination of natural elements and the parameters of time, space and perception are also recurring themes in his work. Guðjónsson's type of investigation always takes place on an acoustic as well as a visual level. He utilises the potential of the filmic medium to reproduce an interplay of image and sound in order to create a maximum symbiosis of both sensory impressions. Complex soundscapes and rhythmic images involve the viewer in a synaesthetic experience that expands their own field of perception and generates a new kind of sensation.
