NOW THAT THE LIGHT IS FADING
BY GUDRUN SOLEY SIGURDARDOTTIR
This work is an attempt to connect our immediate environments with what we long for in the distance through an exploration of mapping and memory. In this personal reflection of place, Gudrun Soley Sigurdardottir invites you to consider what you hold closely and what is at the edges of your reach.
Now That The Light Is Fading is best experienced through headphones and by sitting somewhere you have never sat before. In a foreign place in your own home. Gudrun hopes this piece allows you to view things differently.
