Where: Denizen Eiswerk

About the event

'All in One' holds selected work from Vigdís’ painting series ‘Shades of Summer’ (2021-2023) and photographs from her series ‘Vinkonur’ (2010-present).

‘Vinkonur’ (Girlfriends) is an ongoing photography project by Vigdís Erla Guttormsdóttir. The project began over 10 years ago with Vigdís capturing her sisters in their childhood home in Reykjavík, Iceland. This experience, capturing the women closest to her in their environment on grainy black and white film, inspired their photography journey, spurring her ritual of photographing her friends, where she has spent the past 10 years capturing these intimate moments.

‘Shades of Summer’ are a body of work which documented a sudden change in her life in 2021. The paintings came to form a diary of sorts, an account of her feelings, emotions and observations through different mediums. Through a fortunate series of events she rediscovered her love for painting which she had lost since childhood. "Through the painting I began to find my voice again, a voice I had lost over many years of events and trauma. I was able to express my innermost feelings and thoughts with colours, marking the highs and lows all on canvas, one after another.”
