SKRÖLT III
Krummi
The photographs in this work are made in 2020 and are a part of a larger, ongoing SKRÖLT project where I have photographed my surroundings every day for 4 years.
As soon as the pandemic arrived in Iceland my perception of my everyday became foreign, reality became unreal, days lost their color and seemed motionless. This strange mood, coupled with curiosity and my camera compelled me to rattle on and turn complex, even unknown thoughts and feelings into photographs.
The title SKRÖLT means I RATTLE ON, it is derived from my unconventional walking pattern.
Krummi is an Icelandic photographer, born in 1990 in Reykjavik, where he lives and works. In January 2021 he graduated from Ljósmyndaskólinn.
By adhering to the seemingly simple and straightforward medium most of us engage with every day Krummi is able to push himself forward and engage with his environment. He rattles on, maneuvering through the obstacle course of his everyday life with his unconventional walking pattern - a clumsy flaneur.
Krummi was a teenager when he became disabled. Through his relationship with the photographic medium he has come to see that whether he is able, less able, more able or disable, he is always, in some way, able.
Krummi has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, most recently in a curated group exhibition at Reykjavik Museum of Photography.
