New Poetry and Photo Book

Artist Guðrið Poulsen just released a book with the the title ein bein linja ein bogin (en: one straight line one curved). It is a poetry collection and photo book combined.

With poems and photography this book is a walk through the place where the city begins and ends, where we meet nature and the gut of the city at the same time, bot past and present. It is a walk to the border of what we understand and what is about to fall apart.

The poems and the photographs portray a world of real objects as well as plans and lost traces. This world is a terrain vague - an ambiguous place. A world of old projects, of garbage, and junk intertwined with thoughts of how the future will be.

This geopoetry puts into words what it means to live on earth. What it is like to exist in a landscape, to feel a certain tactility, how the body is in a space between nature and our changes in nature and how memories of generations and their marks exist in the world.

Guðrið Poulsen (1961) is an established ceramic artist based in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. Her medium has primarily been clay although she works in other materials as well. Her field of work ranges from utensils to larger works in the public space. Guðrið also photographs and writes and these two artforms now come together.

ein bein linja ein bogin is published in a de luxe limited edition by Eksil.
