Nomadic Landmass- exhibition - doggerfisher - Contemporary Art Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In 1973 a massive volcanic eruption on Heimaey, an island lying just off the southern coast of Iceland, led to the formation of a new landmass: an ash cone which was named Eldfell. |
 | | Nomadic Landmass includes photographic images taken en-route to Eldfell by Halperin from the window of a small plane; drawings inspired by the Heimaey eruption; geological specimens and footage of the actual 1973 eruption and evacuation of the island filmed by The Center for Short Lived Phenomena at The Smithsonian Institution. |
 | | Whether boiling milk in a 100 degree Celsius sulphur spring in the crater of an active volcano, celebrating my birthday with a landmass of the same age or recording the sound of a melting glacier - the geologic history and environmental situation specific to the locale directly informs the development of each piece." |
