Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir's life-size sculptures, a testament to her artistic curiosity, depict anonymous human figures, inviting viewers to reflect and wonder what it means to be human. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in her world. It runs from April 6, 2024, to October 31, 2025.
Thórarinsdóttir's sculptures, crafted with meticulous naturalistic detail, blur the line between art and reality, prompting viewers to confront the uncanny sensation of encountering something familiar yet unsettling. Made from casts of real individuals, often combined with volcanic rocks from Iceland, her figures represent a universal humanity devoid of individual features, challenging viewers to contemplate the very essence of humanity in an age of artificial intelligence. Prepare to be intellectually stimulated and engaged by her thought-provoking work.
Displayed in the former psychiatric hospital turned gallery space of Augustenborg_Project, Thórarinsdóttir's sculptures acquire added significance, prompting reflection on the dehumanization historically associated with mental institutions. Through her work, Thórarinsdóttir invites us to reconsider our perceptions of the human condition, particularly in spaces where individuals have been marginalized and dehumanized.
