| Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir (b. 1976) uses a simple, but effective way of shifting the viewers’ perception from the visual to the physical. By inviting the viewers to move around while observing they not only perceive with their eyes and thoughts, but with their whole body. Ingunn plays with the idea of the two-dimensional surface painting of modernism by creating an abstract world that people are able to enter.
