in search of Hulduklettur (Hidden Rock)
INSPIRATION
Installations of the exhibition Garden of Stones and a Thousand Flowers inspired by work Icelandic conceptual artist Hreinn Fridfinnsson, Hulduklettur.
Installation Hulduklettur Hreinn Fridfinnsson 2017
Fridfinnsson often presents found objects, creating new works that investigate ideas of the self and of time. Following the consistency of theme and a common thread of Hulduklettur (Hidden Rock) cardboard boxes of the installations contain objects, photography, drawings and texts to explore. Combined in sequence, they tell stories and invite to interpret artists' works in search of answers to questions.

Coastline paradox, 2024

The Coastline Paradox as a Metaphor for Research
It is the counterintuitive observation that the coastline of a landmass does not have a well-defined length. This results from the fractal curve-like properties of coastlines.
The measured length of the coastline depends on the method used to measure it and the degree of cartographic generalization.
Since a landmass has features at all scales, from hundreds of kilometers in size to tiny fractions of a millimeter and below, there is no obvious size of the smallest feature that should be taken into consideration when measuring, and hence no single well-defined perimeter to the landmass. Various approximations exist when specific assumptions are made.

Find the Pearl Box, an interactive work for the children's part of the installation.
It is a tactile encounter for hands, which creates a soundtrack of rustling sounds of dry peas. The box contains one pearl that can be found by sorting through the peas.
with referencing to the Sea Bean, Blue Box and Bean Garden by Alison Knowles
Alison Knowles interactive works such as Bean Garden (1971/2016), a tactile encounter for feet that creates a soundtrack for the gallery, as the rustling sounds of dry beans are amplified throughout the space.
