September 23, 2024.
Irene Hoppenberg is a sculptor from Berlin, Germany. She received her Master at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Her works were presented in multiple exhibitions in Europe, USA, South-Korea, Taiwan and Australia.
I experimented with kites made of paper and bamboo during my stay at the Fish Factory, which offered me an ideal environment to work on my project. The kites form a colourful contrast in the Icelandic landscape. Their shapes and patterns refer to the style of the German Bauhaus.
I loved to stay in the green studio with its stunning view to the Fjord and the Mountains. It was inspiring even with rain, clouds, and fog. From there we could even once watch the whales from very close, it was so exciting.
Thanks to all the artists who performed the kites with me and to all the photographers who took the pictures. It was wonderful to share this moment with you and it was very much fun.
Very big thanks to Kris and Vinny who gave us so much support all the time, it was more than I expected. I would have loved to stay another month and have more time to develop my project and to explore more of the environment.
