Veronika Beringer, Dunja Krcek at Engi, Ísafjörður, Iceland July, 2023
In their joint exhibition Rivulets Veronika and Dunja are telling stories from the many riverbeds and streams which are shaping the fjord’s landscape around Isafjördur. Their different engagements with water as a connecting element will lead from swamps to absorbing mosses, from hydrated flowers to resting your feet in the sea.
Interested in the poetical aspects of the landscape, they both pursue images or imaginations which are noticed through allowing yourself to slow down and entering states of vagueness and fluidity, like stepping on the grounds of wetlands with their uncertain firmness or considering spaces of in-between when interacting with plants.
soaking soft and swelling
lying in the grass
slimy white reflections
fallen from the stars
down to earth
swirling the heavy weight
of the liquid fuel
distributing to all receptors
so generous
so patient
thinking of them all
the fluffy white, the raging blue
the dragging green, the rusting red
