Dually Noted
The delightfully dreamy illustrations of Unnur Ýrr Helgadóttir
are on display in one of Reykjavík's oldest coffee houses,
which opened in 1958, and has kept true to its Italian roots.
Unnur was born in Iceland but now resides in Stockholm,
and her illustrations often feature female characters in soft
pastel tones. For this particular show, she focuses on the
relationship between the mind and the body, the internal
and external, and the lines between fantasy and reality.
The venue itself provides a quaint backdrop for Unnur's
whimsical illustrations and visitors can dually enjoy one of
Reykjavík's best coffees whie browsing the works. KO
