Katrín Elvarsdóttir: A Botanical Future

Hafnarhús

-

In A Botanical Future, Katrín focuses on plants that have traveled between habitats.

At the forefront are three plant species, cherry blossom, banana plant, and Dawn Redwood each with a long and fascinating history connecting different continents. She follows them with her camera – not to pin them down, but to record them and transform them into another form. In the photograph they belong to another world, created by the artist. They bear witness to something movable, but not forgotten, of what can flourish — even far away from its origins.
