The third iteration of the 'Lúppa' exhibition series presents a dialogue between two video works by Kristín Karólína Helgadóttir and the collaborative duo Consider to be Allies. These works explore the complex intersections of nature, marketing, tourism, and contemporary media consumption in a world marked by climate crisis and social polarization.
The third iteration of the Lúppa exhibition series features a thematic dialogue between two video works that address the intersection of nature, tourism, and marketing. Kristín Karólína Helgadóttir’s work, 'Getur þú hugsað í sviðsmyndum?' (2022), draws from her transition to rural Iceland following the pandemic to speculate on global scenarios and climate anxieties. Her practice often investigates the tension between Western lifestyles and constructed nature, weaving dreamlike narratives into everyday life. Contrasting this, the collaborative duo Consider to be Allies (Margaux Parillaud and Mie Frederikke Fischer Christensen) presents 'Eclipse Chasers' (2017–2024), which examines the unifying power of nature through the lens of pop-cultural spectacle. By incorporating urban sounds and media references, the piece illustrates how artificial environments shape our perception of reality. The Lúppa series itself functions as a rotating exhibition space where video works are paired in a continuous loop, shifting every few weeks to offer new conceptual perspectives.
The exhibition is hosted at Gerðarsafn Art Museum; visitors are advised to check the museum's official website for current admission details and opening hours regarding their general entry policies at the time of the exhibition period in 2026.
