68 A T L A N T I C A BOOK Who are we? Where do we come from? These are two basic questions most of us will entertain at least once in our lives. For writer Unnur Jökulsdóttir and photographer Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson, these questions became an obsession. For two years, the two journeyed around their native Iceland in search of identity. The result is Icelanders, a travel book documenting Icelanders living a traditional lifestyle in some of the country’s most far-flung places. “We travelled during all seasons, in all weather, and found our subjects along the way,” says Unnur, describing how the two sometimes stumbled upon the Icelanders they wound up writing about, people like trappers, farmers and fisherman. The book has spawned an exhibition featuring Unnur’s illuminating text, and Sigurgeir’s stunning photographs. The exhibition, sponsored by the City of Reykjavik and Edda Publishing, can be seen throughout the summer in Austurvöllur square, located in downtown Reykjavik, in front of Althingi, the parliament building.
