Lars Dyrendom
Lars Dyrendom's artistic practice evolves around photographic archives and collections. A returning theme is how humans as groups behave and act in relation to our surrounding and environment. How we stage and interact with different spaces as well as objects and how we give them emotional, political and ideological meanings in and through photography.
The photographs in an archive or collection often have no beginning or end, but they exist in layers. When moving in-between these layers, norms and structures emerge but also veins of emotion and sudden affects. These aspects co-play and turn “seeing” and ideas of how to see into a complex framework.

Krummi
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.
