Elín Hansdóttir works across several disciplines including installation, sculpture and photography. She often creates in situ immersive installations that cast light on one´s perception moving through unfamiliar and seemingly displaced spaces, providing a reference system for self-reflexivity. This reconfiguration of space oftentimes sways between the physical and psychological effects of uncertainty, loss of orientation, sensorial limitation or visual illusion. Her work gravitates towards a conception of many worlds within a world
