Sigurður Guðjónsson

[6] Sigurður Guðjónsson represented Iceland at 59th International Venice Biennale 2022 with his installation Perpetual motion[7][8] His artwork at the Venice biennale, titled Perpetual Motion, offered a poetic exploration of materiality at the edge of the boundaries of perception, powerfully combining moving images and sound to activate the space and create an entrancing, meditative experience for visitors.

[14] It has been further described as "a playground for the imagination, placing the focus on the smallest elements which make up the world",[15] a dreamscape of magnets and metals.

[16] The primary object depicted in the work is, in fact, a small magnetic disc taken from an old loudspeaker, with metal dust sprinkled around the rim.

He also employed an electron microscope to scan a fragment of carbon in Enigma (2019), conjuring an otherworldly image of the material, and made the mysterious poetic space of Lightroom (2018) from an old slide projector.

[17] With more than twenty solo exhibitions and dozens of groups shows and festival screenings, his works have been shown to critical acclaim around the world and been exhibited in such institutions as the National Gallery of Iceland, Kennedy Center DC, Scandinavia House NYC, The Royal Society of British Sculptors and Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
