At Kling&Bang, two large installations will be presented: Field by Sigurður Guðjónsson and Decay by Fischersund Collective.
In Field, Guðjónsson presents a new immersive video installation, where material, sound, and light converge in a slow, meditative choreography. At the core of the work is an exploration of glass—not as a transparent or decorative object, but as a medium abstracted beyond recognition.
The Fischersund Collective presents an immersive, multi-sensory installation that meditates on the poetics and politics of decay—both as a natural process and a conceptual gesture. Through fragrant sculptural forms that slowly release scent into the space, hand-painted photographs that blur time and memory, textured video works, and looping sound compositions played on analog tape machines, the exhibition creates a tactile, atmospheric environment where decomposition becomes a site of reflection rather than loss.
In tandem with the opening, a new edition of Dunce Magazine will be published.
The exhibition is until 23 November at usual opening times of Kling&Bang in the Marshallhouse.
Comprised of the siblings Inga, Jónsi, Sigurrós, and Lilja, along with partners Sindri and Kjartan, the Fischersund Art Collective brings together their combined fine art and musical training into one creative force within Icelandic immersive, conceptual contemporary art. Having held individual art exhibitions at varying galleries and museums around the world, the world premier of the Collective’s first exhibition took place at The National Nordic Museum in Seattle, Washington, on November 8th, 2024, through February 23, 2025. Fischersund: FauxFlora, an immersive multimedia exhibition integrating scent, sound, sculpture, 3D graphics, and photography, is inspired by the less than 500 native plant species in Iceland, as well as the scientific relationship between scent and memory. The large-scale installation is an immersive sensorial experience, complete with an olfactive journey. The exhibition will travel beyond Seattle throughout 2025 in key cities integral to Fischersund’s expansion plan. In its future state, the Collective will continue to create meaningful exhibits for the global art community.
Sigurður Guðjónsson (Reykjavík, Iceland) is an Icelandic visual artist known for his hypnotic video installations that explore the materiality of time, sound, and mechanical motion. Often focusing on overlooked industrial or elemental processes, his work amplifies the subtle rhythms of matter in transformation. In Field, Guðjónsson presents a new immersive video installation, where material, sound, and light converge in a slow, meditative choreography. At the core of the work is an exploration of glass—not as a transparent or decorative object, but as a medium abstracted beyond recognition. Through close, almost forensic observation and transformation, Guðjónsson distills the essence of glass into flickering textures, rhythms, and movements, dissolving the boundary between material and immaterial. Paired with a resonant sound composition that shifts with subtle intensity, the work envelops the viewer in a sensory field that resists categorization. Field becomes less about what is seen and more about what is felt—an encounter with matter in flux, time suspended, and perception stretched beyond its usual limits.
