SharedFuture: Maria Kjartansdottir's UK solo show

About

"Shared Future deals with subjects that touch us all; circumstances and emotions that we have all felt and are aware of, but so seldom consider and express."

Icelandic photographer Maria Kjartansdottir presents her first UK solo at the DegreeArt.com Gallery, Vyner Street London.

Winner of the prestigious Reykjavà ­k project-award from Myndstef and the Penninn prize in 2007 Maria has recently returned from Granada in Spain where she has been living within the regions caves unprecedentedly documenting the elusive community that inhabits them.

As much an explorer as photographer, Maria?s fascination and obsession with life cycles and events, across cultures, dominate the subject matter of her pieces and drives her to visit often remote and unusual locations.

The results are bewitching insights and stories that present the viewer with a captivating sense of discovery, honesty and empathy for her subjects.

The exhibition is kindly supported by the Danish and Icelandic embassies in London and will be included in the EAST festival, encouraging Londoners and visitors to the capital to explore the vibrant cultural life of East London. EAST is a unique collaboration between the Mayor of London and key cultural organisations in London.
