he installation were designed to be the carriers of their own story, revealing the journey of two representatives of Iceland: aluminium and fish, across borders and continents to their destination. At the same time, they objectify the complex mechanisms of consumerism.

The project consists of a short movie, unveiling the industrial aesthetics of the shipping industry, and a collection of four artifacts made from cod leather, aluminium oxide, and aluminium, as well as the illustrated journey of a regular aluminium can from it’s mining in Brazil via smelting in Iceland to the Netherlands, processing in Germany and Great Britain, back to the Icelandic supermarket.

The project is a collaboration with Björn Steinar Blumenstein.
