Image and Interview: Íslendingar

Curious by nature, Moses aims to understand the character, culture, and values of a place, through the people around her. With some planning, she was able to meet and interview many kind and friendly Icelanders, who were willing to share their perceptions, experiences, thoughts, and recollections. The portrait and interview series that emerged from these encounters was framed around a group of questions the artist asked each sitter. Moses tries to represent the individuals with the duality of the photographic image and excerpts of the person’s words. These exchanges deeply enriched this exploratory visit to Iceland.

The "Image and Interview: Íslendigar" project was exhibited at the gallery of SÍM - the Association of Icelandic Artists in Reykjavik in May 2017. The work was also exhibited alongside the Leipzig portraits in 2020.
