The exhibition thus poses questions about what happens when we are confronted with works that demand us to engage and be affected. Works that in their innocence and intimate situation are risk-taking.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Hrund M\u00e1sd\u00f3ttir works with found objects and materials, which, when removed from their original context, take on a new ephemeral lightness of being. Birgir Sn\u00e6bj\u00f6rn Birgisson transforms personal and symbolic objects into layered works, using a process of reproduction to explore presence and absence. Though distinct in approach, both artists engage with materials that carry traces of the past, inviting us to reflect on memory, transformation and the shifting nature of meaning.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is accompanied by the publication\u00a0<em>Linger<\/em>, featuring essays by Mika Hannula.
