Abandoned farms in Iceland possess a relentless charm in their desolation. In this unique and
powerful book, Nökkvi Elíasson’s photography and Aðalsteinn Ásberg Sigurðsson’s poems tell the
story of the deserted buildings that litter the Icelandic countryside – echoes of a bygone era and a
way of life that is all but forgotten.
Nökkvi Elíasson has received much critical acclaim for his photographs depicting
Iceland’s vanishing rural past. Aðalsteinn Ásberg Sigurðsson’s elegiac poems serve
as a seamless counterpart to these images and have been translated into numer-
ous languages.
