The Atomstar (2018)
The hybrid dance and visual art work, Atomstar, guide an exploration of the human being. It is dissected, torn apart, cut into pieces and sewn back together in alternative ways. Examined in a wider context, ranging from its roots in the ground up to the mind, sky and space.
Atomstar is an artwork in which the body and movement are at the centre in dance installations, performances, videos, and sound that together take form in a multidisciplinary experience in the newly renovated Ásmundarsalur, intertwining the building’s unique history and atmosphere.
