MOLD
2023
experimental short
SIM Residency, Reykjavík
Sigurður Róbertsson‘s obscure play ‘Mold’ details an inherited bowl of earth shattered in an argument between a farming mother and her son who wants to move to the city.
The artist interweaves lines of texts from ‘Mold’ with several narratives on the absence of soil, eroded images taken from the 2001 Soil Erosion Handbook of Iceland, the censorial hole punch in agricultural pictures taken during the American Great Depression and bowls of sand used for land reclamation in India, to reflect on our relationship with earth and the land we live on.
