An exhibition in Kunstverein Langenhagen: Erla S. Haraldsdóttir in Germany

Erla Haraldsdóttir (born 1967 in Reykjavik/Iceland, lives in Berlin and
Reykjavik) studied art at the Royal University College of Fine Arts in
Stockholm, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the Valand Art Academy in
Gothenburg. In 2005/2006 she had a stipend in conjunction with the
international studio program in the Künstlerhaus Bethanien and lives in
Berlin since then.

For the exhibition "Langenhagen", she produced a series of photo collages and a computer animation that cast an analytical view of a typical small German city and its heterogeneous architecture. The project for the Kunstverein Langenhagen is her first project of this type to be realized in Germany. For these works, she utilized photographs and drawings after pictures she took in Havana/Cuba, Berlin, and Reykjavik. She seamlessly combines the pictures from completely different worlds together, which we do not notice at first sight. Erla Haraldsdóttir consciously thwarts our patterns of perception. She thus created playful possibilities of alternative ways of seeing our familiar surroundings.

CIA.IS is one of the sponsors of the exhibition which runs from September 28 to November 26, 2006.
