Image/View

Kristina Kvalvik & Christina Leithe Hansen at galleriBOX, Akureyri. Iceland

February 19th - 20th, 2 – 5 pm

galleriBOX is pleased to present the exhibition Image/View, by two Norwegian artists. They explore the uncanny and play with expectations within film and photography, featuring fictive characters in unknown surroundings. In Kvalvik's film the narrator is only present as text and in Leithe's portraits, the character is linked to a symbolic environment.

We hope to see you for the opening at galleriBOX on Saturday, February 19, 2-5 pm
