My exhibition of Cyanotype prints titled ‚OCEANS IN THE AGE OF HUMANS‘ opened on February 28th at the Icelandic Embassy in Toyko. This special event was postponed by the pandemic, but the work had been hanging on the walls of the embassy since January 2021 providing the backdrop for many embassy functions.
I‘m incredibly grateful to Ambassador Stefán Haukur Jóhannesson and his wife Halldóra Hermannsdóttir, as well as to the embassy staff for this wonderful opportunity. I also want to thank the Scandinavia-Japan Sasakawa Foundation for their support.
The president of Iceland , Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, visited the embassy and did a television interview for one of the main TV channels
A 93 year old security guard who worked at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 was given the Icelandic flag. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics he wanted to give the flag to the embassy and was given an Iceland shirt and a cap as a token of gratitude.
The prints have been in the backbrounds for various events, both online and in person durning the last two years.
