The Choreographer Margrét Bjarnadóttir is fascinated by the duality of perception—is there more to a dance, or a book or a painting, than we see at first sight? Or are we just filling in the blanks with our own imagination? She's worked in dance, theatre, literature, and the visual arts, and combines all of these disciplines in this exhibition that explores the quality of doubt through video installations, works on paper, and photographs.
