Interactive video installation at Hallgrims Church in Reykjavik.
Collaboration with Haraldur Karlsson. Commissioned by the city of Reykjavik for Vetrarhátid, 2021.
The work Interference is based on the characteristics of Hallgríms church in Reykjavík whose architecture is inspired by basalt columns, a natural geological phenomena occurring in Iceland. The installation make use of large scale video projection and custom made software to play with the perception of the column structure by rendering an alternative reality where the solid columns are flexible, bendable and obscure the churchs straight formations into abstract geometric and organic patterns. Patterns arising with a resemblance to Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle or dazzle painting, a camouflage method consisting of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other, making it difficult to estimate an objects range, speed and position.
