Reykjavík Energy’s cafeteria is the sub-
ject of a new series by photographer
Spessi, now on display at Gallery 100°.
The series contains nearly two hun-
dred photos, showing the empty plates
left by the staff of Reykjavík Energy af-
ter lunch in the cafeteria. On the menu:
chicken fajitas Google style, Mexican
corn soup and chocolate ice cream.
The series echoes Spessi’s exhibi-
tion from last year, where he showed
workers from the Kárahnjúkar con-
struction site dining in the cafeteria.
As usual, the unusual subject matter
in Spessi’s work allows for surprisingly
sharp insight into the human condition
and raises questions about the nature
of photography.
