Gerðarsafn
Hamraborg 4, Kópavogur | Until February 27 | Admission: 500 ISK
Photographer Ingvar Högni Ragnarsson presents shots taken
taken during a three-week trip to the Romanian capital of Bucharest.
The city has been through numerous transformations in past de-
cades, the most dramatic after the fall of the Soviet Union, when the
gap between super-rich and very poor became more pronounced.
Now, over 60% of the population lives in poverty with limited options,
and many vent their frustrations over the broken system by tagging
the streets with quotes from ‘Fight Club’ about working jobs they hate
to pay for things they don’t need. Ingvar Högni mixes his personal
view of Bucharest’s everyday environment with a look at the complex
interactions between community, class, and personal stories of a
broken future—or hopes of another future. HBG
