ICELAND (Nighttime)

Rönkkö Nastja Säde

Taking its starting point from a poem written by the artist, ICELAND (Nightime) explores the collective mind-set of anxiety and hope in epic, post-catastrophic landscapes.The video engages the most fundamental of human experiences: love, hope, fear, solitude and togetherness. Set in Icelandic landscapes that are romantic yet inhospitable, ICELAND (Nightime) deals with the sensibility that we are close to the end of the world as we know it.
