Icelanders. Photographs Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson. Text Unnur Jökulsdóttir.
For two years, photographer Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson and writer Unnur Jökulsdóttir traveled around Iceland, visiting people in all parts of the country. The goal was to better understand the outlook on life of those who have adapted traditional jobs to modern times, standing on the border between the old and the new. Impressive images of people and nature bring out a new view of modern Iceland, and poetic narratives, richly mixed with good-natured humor, bring readers closer to the attitudes and outlook on life of trillukals, millenarians, traveling farmers, fox hunters, tamers and children of nature. A book that has enjoyed unprecedented popularity since its publication, it is a must-have for all Icelanders. (Bókatíðindi 2004).
