"First Friday Exhibition" with Jói Kjartans.

The biggest pro and con of living in Reykjavík is that nothing ever happens. And that is what these photographs deal with; life in Reykjavík. The photos capture what almost can't be described as happening. They depict mundane adventures without a beginning or an end. What hardly took place. Hardly takes place. But perhaps we are somewhere between the asphalt and the grass. It depends on from where, towards where, and in particular, how we look at them.
A famous author (who's name I can't reveal) never takes a camera along for his travels. He maintains that the only thing that matters is what is left within him at the end of the journey; the pictures in his head. To each his own. Obviously, Jói never never goes anywhere without a camera. His photos reveal his determined conviction that everything matters. That everything is not only there, but everything is. That everything is important. That everything is beautiful. There is constantly something happening - especially in Reykjavík. And while you observe the photographer slide through prosperity, recession, and other mundane things in the life of Icelanders, you remember that you don't really have to leave anywhere to travel.
