Herself in the spotlight. Actress Ingibjörg Steinsdóttir (1903-1965) and her self-portrait collection. Ingibjörg Sigurðardóttir compiled and catalogued.
Ingibjörg Steinsdóttir is not here. She no longer exists as a living being, but the relics of her life lie like adrift in many kinds of "texts". Stories about Ingibjörg have been written and rewritten, told and retold, read and interpreted in many ways. Ingibjörg's granddaughter and namesake never met her grandmother in life, but grew up with colorful stories about her and constant comparisons, both positive and negative. In this book, the author attempts to find out who Ingibjörg Steinsdóttir was, while also giving her a voice in history.
