(iiii) (2022-2026)
Pigment prints from medium format negatives
As part of SÍM residency Reykjavik, Iceland
(iiii) explores Norse mythology and its connection to nature as both living organism and spiritual force. The project unfolds around four characters inspired by the classical elements: Wind (Huldufólk / elves), Earth (Scandinavian trolls), Fire (myths surrounding the volcano Hekla), and Water (sea monsters evoking islands.) I developed the characters and collaborated with costume designers to realize their material form, drawing on cinematic, folkloric, and geographic references.
During the five-month residency, I embodied these figures within remote and monumental landscapes, assuming the dual role of performer and photographer. This self-portrait approach renewed an exploration of the body, fostering introspection and resilience in the face of Iceland’s volatile conditions. Created entirely on analog film and in natural light, the series marks my return to photography while integrating my experiences in dance and performance.
(iiii) is currently under post-production. More info coming soon.
Costume design: Marie-Jo Albrecht, Yupanqui Ramos, Yulong Song
