LAVA AND MOSS 2000 |
| A PROJECTED
VIDEO ENVIRONMENT BY STEINA |
| Einar Mar summoned my to his place
named Light Cliff on a beautiful day last fall.
The occasion was to offer me a show in his own
gallery/workspace, set in a breathtakingly beautiful
lava field in Hafnarfjordur. "The theme is
lava", he told me. Can you fit your work
into it? My love affair with lava comes from early
childhood, when elves and trolls were still a
part of reality. I remember if I stared long enough
at a lava field, it started moving, even making
sounds. Many years later I took some potent mescaline
in Herdisarvik, and was able to revoke those childhood
memories and the immense exuberance that goes
with it. It is a great challenge to get landscape,
frozen for centuries to move, yes dance. If god
is everywhere, his presence certainly is most
tangible in lava and moss. |
