 Eg elska þig Susan Sontag

2014

I wrote in the sand of Snæfelsness, a text about Susan Sontag.

She had herself visited the glacier. In a New York Times article, she describes the glacier as "a laboratory of the new, the unsettling (...)". The work I performed on the sand in Hellissandur is a work of Land Art. I traced a text in the desert.
