Act of Representation draws into intimacy a solidarity march with Kurdistan and Abdullah Öcalan’s freedom in Berlin (February 2017) by questioning how urgencies and representational power translate and transmit through a body from the streets into the space of exhibition.
Bryndís Björnsdóttir is an artist and writer living in Berlin. In her performances, interventions, and writings, she meets, feels, and deals with situations through bodily utterances.
