Goethe Morph* Iceland
Impressions
During Spring and Summer 2022, a large and varied network of artists, thinkers and creators engaged with the question of Goethe Morph* Iceland: 'How We Always Wanted To Have Lived'. In September 2022 finally, these multi-perspective explorations coalesced at Nordic House Reykjavík for ten days of artistic interventions, presentations, performances, workshops and conversations. Photographer Antje Jandrig captured these moments, which are presented here.
