Anna Julia Fridbjörnsdottir lives and works in Reykjavík and Berlin. She employs a variety of media and materials to explore contemporary social and environmental concerns from a poetic perspective, imaginatively reconciling human-based perception systems to express our navigational desires. Her works engage with the fluidity of information and the transformative power of interpretation and communication.
