Fogo But Not Forgotten
'Food, People, and Post Office' by Spessi
Listamenn Gallerí
Skúlagata 32 (E7) | May 30-June 17 Weekdays 09:00-18:00
Are you living in Iceland and curious what life is like on another
small, cold island? This exhibition by Icelandic photographer
Spessi peeks into the lives and homes of inhabitants on Fogo
Island, located near Newfoundland. With a population of only
2,700 people, separated into eleven small fishing communities, life
on Fogo Island can be bleak, but its people endure. Spessi calls
upon the trust and kindness of locals in his photographs as they
allow him into their homes while he explores this isolated region.
Spessi’s work has been shown in exhibitions internationally, from
France to Finland to New York. In 2011, the artist completed a
residency program through the Fogo Island Arts Corporation. KES
