FjarVera

Önnudóttir, Steinunn Hildigunnur Knúts LU (2020)
Abstract
The work is done in collaboration with 5 hosts, a cross-section of Reykjavik residents.

You are a guest in the real home of an absent stranger. At home, handwritten letters are waiting to guide you forward, ask questions, set tasks for you, introduce you to another world, solve mysteries. In this way, you have a close conversation with a person who is not there.

In FjarVera, a group of people with different backgrounds invite visitors, one at a time, to walk around their home and at the same time think about what it means to be present in one's own life, to be active, to use feeling. What is presence and what separates and unites us as people?
