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

— Veronika Beringer, Dunja Krcek
