Flowline is a part of Rannveig Jónsdóttir's master's project from the Malmö Art Academy, Sweden.
"In January 2019, I left Ísafjörður for a few days on a trawler named Páll Pálsson ÍS-102. At sea, I kept a diary, took photos, and documented the soundscape of the ship. The journey was characterized by seasickness, repetition, and isolation."
The soundscape on board the trawler resonates in 5 sound sculptures scattered throughout the space, placing the viewer on board the ship, along with 9 sculptures based on a formula the artist devised using weather and location data of the trawler.
Special thanks to Hrafn Guðmundsson at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, H-G Fisheries, and the crew on board the Páll Pálsson ÍS-102. The exhibition is supported by the Ísafjörður Town Summer Event Fund.
