Artist Talk in Icelandic: Daníel Perez Eðvarðsson

Daníel Perez Eðvarðsson welcomes guests to discuss his exhibition, The Man Who Slept Like a Flamenco Dancer, on Saturday, 13 April at 14:00 in Skotið at the Reykjavík Museum of Photography. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. *Please note that the talk will be in Icelandic. Festival culture is the theme of Daníel Perez Eðvarðsson‘s exhibition in Skotið. On display are photographs from Andalusia, Spain, which the artist took during the first winter he was living in Spain between 2021-2022. Perez is half-Spanish, raised in Iceland. Parallel to the black and white prints from Spain, colour photographs from the annual Þjóðhátíð festival in Iceland‘s Westman Islands are shown, taken in the summer of 2023. Thus, the exhibition addresses festival culture, of Catholics on the one hand and of Icelanders on the other.
