Iceland 2017 - Roadtrip and Artist Residency at Vopnafjördur
In september - october 2017 I had a 4 weeks Artist in Residency stay together with my wife at Vopnafjörður, East Iceland. The stay was part of a cultural collaboration between the region Vesterålen in north Norway and East Iceland.
Going there, we made a road trip circling the western and northern part of Iceland, covering the Westfjords and the north coast, as well as inland areas around Myvatn. Returning to Reykjavik we made a full circle, covering the south coast. The stay gave deep impressions both from the magical nature and meetings with local people aroung the island.
During the residency stay I made an exhibition in Kaupvangur, the municipal cultural house in Vopnafjörður, genereously funded by the municipality. The images displayed at the exhibition can be found in a separate gallery here: https://www.setoien.com/Photography/Exhibitions/Exhibition-at-Kaupvangur-Vopnafj%C3%B6r%C3%B0ur/
