This solo exhibition presents a new series of photographs by Roni Horn, capturing the mossy, undulating landscape of Landbrot in southern Iceland. Through her characteristic use of pairing and doubling, Horn highlights the surreality and anthropomorphic qualities of the volcanic terrain.
Roni Horn: Mother, Wonder is the sixth solo exhibition of the artist’s work at i8 Gallery. The show centers on a new photographic series that documents Landbrot, a region in southern Iceland defined by its rolling, mossy landscape and distinctive pseudocraters—volcanic formations created by lava flow through wetlands. By coupling these compositions, Horn employs her signature method of pairing and doubling, which invites viewers to contemplate the indeterminacy and surreality inherent in the landscape. The images featured in this exhibition were captured by Horn between 2010 and 2012 and were originally included in the eleventh volume of her long-term project To Place, published by Steidl in 2023. This ongoing project serves as a detailed record of the artist's enduring relationship with Iceland, a country she first visited in 1975 and which has remained a central, defining influence on her multidisciplinary practice in photography, sculpture, and books.
The exhibition is hosted at i8 Gallery. Visitors are encouraged to contact the gallery for further details regarding visitation or specific inquiries about the work on display as directed by the site's enquiry links.
