"Spaces are never empty, even if they are. In the seemingly vacant lighthouse, Julie Sjöfn Gasiglia is on a search for hidden life. Under the microscope, she examined samples from the inside of Gróttuviti that she took with as little invasion as possible. Without trying to categorize what she is seeing, she recognizes the beautiful and fascinating world that opens up. With a living sculpture, Julie lets us take part in her discovering process. In the video work “land-scape-land-scope”, we dive into visuals that could be anything, while realizing that this is happening at this moment, all around and within us – we are part of it."
