​

The work Garden -Strata is an immersive material performance, a staging of coloured liquid dripping onto a series of salt-coated rocks. Enclosed within an overture – a framework of proposals – the performance unfolded over a period of three months and offered a continued space of investigation of raw material.  Apart from a basic but influential structure, the elements were left to evolve on their own terms without further artistic intervention.

 

Programmed suspenders hanging from the ceiling release a splash of colored liquid onto the salt-encrusted rocks positioned underneath. Controlled drip penetrates the crystallized coat of salt and sustains a continuum of the work. The work to slowly evolves over time. The nature in Tryggvadóttir’s Garden has been altered. It takes on unexpected forms when different materials meet and find their own course within the frame of the exhibition. The transformation process becomes evident, and the works are ever-changing in a process-based durational performance.
