Glow 2026

Gryfja Ásmundarsalur, Reykjavík Iceland.

Moving images from three projectors are cast onto a black wall. Their overlap generates a continuously changing composite image that never repeats. The work unfolds slowly and calmly, creating a dark visual movement looping endlessly.

In the work Glow/Skíma, darkness is not just a visual condition but a state of being, a moment when day steps aside and night takes over. I enter the space after closing, turn off the lights, sit in the dark and the silence, and wait. I wait for the dark light, for twilight, for a ray, like a presence that floats in, takes its place in front of me, and then disappears. I catch it with the camera.

I photographed the space as dusk slowly deepened into night. A faint glow seeped in through the windows from streetlights, passing cars, and the moon. Inside, everything was still. The space was saturated with darkness, and within that glow, images and colors appeared.
