Jóhanna Ólafsdóttir has been documenting life in Iceland
through photography since the 1970s. Instead of the sweeping
landscapes and dynamic skies that fascinate many Icelandic
photographers, Jóhanna focusses on the commonplace, cap-
turing everyday scenes that tell a different story of Iceland. In
doing so, she sensitively preserves moments that would other-
wise become memories and, eventually, be lost to time com-
pletely. HJC
