Gabriela Fridriksdottir, Fermentation, 2009

Gabriela Fridriksdottir’s dreamlike imagery is strongly influenced by Icelandic mythology. Her films, drawings, sculptural installations and performances often depict pain and melancholy. Her characters appear to be some kind of amoeba-like spirits that move in a trance. Gabriela Fridriksdottir works are often developed in collaboration with other artists, such as the dancer Erna Omarsdottir, the musician Björk or the composer Johann Johannsson. In the exhibition she shows the sculptural installation Inside the Core and the performance piece Fermentation, with the dancer Erna Omarsdottir.

Gabriela Fridriksdottir's performance Fermantation, with dancer Erna Omarsdottir will be performed Nov 24 7 pm at bonniers Konsthall.

Gabriela Fridriksdottir was born in 1971 in Reykjavik where she lives and works. Selected exhibitions include: Coagula, Flowers of Evil Still Bloom, Cueto Project, New York (2008); Ouroboros, Speilhaus-Morrison Gallery, Berlin (2007); and Life? Biomorphic Shapes in Sculpture, Kunsthaus, Graz, Austria (2007).
