Many of us often imagine how our lives would be if we were
creatures of mythology (okay, yes, some people have god
complexes). But what about the idea that the gods of ancient Viking
mythology could be like us? What kind of job would Loki hold
down? What would Baldr wear? What kind of house would Freyja
live in? Would they be rich or poor, hard working family-types living
in the suburbs driving Subaru Forresters or drunken slackers eating
Styrofoam burgers from the 10-11 for breakfast? Photographer
Lárus Sigurðsson and designer Hallmar Freyr Þorvaldsson grabbed
some well-known local faces (such as… it’s a surprise!) to
represent the imagined lives of the mythical beings from Iceland’s
historical texts. Maybe your life isn’t so far off from a god’s after all.
