The title comes from Zen master Dōgen and is a core teaching in Zen Buddhism. It means that reality is not beyond phenomena, but that phenomena are a full expression of reality. Even though he also writes that when one side is illuminated, another side is dark, it doesn’t mean something is hidden beyond a façade, but that our perspectives are limited and partial. So the world is always there, even though we may not be able to experience all aspects at any given time. His claim is that there is no surface as a disguise, but that surface is substance. This is a call to not search elsewhere, beyond yourself and your physical reality, and a confirmation that the zen state is not found in detachment, but in full presence with your surroundings and activities. This view is at odds with Plato’s Theory of Forms, which proposes that the whole phenomenal world is nothing but surface, or even illusion, a collection of signifiers if you will. To me this sense of attachment or detachment seems meaningful when it comes to the value we assign to our physical world, and it leads me to contemplate the cascading effects such worldviews have on our interaction with the phenomenal world, our attitudes towards materiality and our willingness to interfere, extract and transform. <img width="5953" height="3954" width_o="5953" height_o="3954" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b843c4d8075be70a0064693aba6de93237d35322d056a467ef268ae68dabf11b/Nothing_is_hidden.jpg" data-mid="252906488" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b843c4d8075be70a0064693aba6de93237d35322d056a467ef268ae68dabf11b/Nothing_is_hidden.jpg" /> <img width="4160" height="6240" width_o="4160" height_o="6240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8de551824a2f80b766aeccb8545b8682f2894250b34361bf415920df1e27497e/Steinunn_MA2_2026_04.JPG" data-mid="252906583" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8de551824a2f80b766aeccb8545b8682f2894250b34361bf415920df1e27497e/Steinunn_MA2_2026_04.JPG" /> <img width="6240" height="4160" width_o="6240" height_o="4160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbc05ffbd6136ed6a95c549af12dc7c544710459d38af5e486e42dd34d81b323/Steinunn_MA2_2026_05.JPG" data-mid="252906584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbc05ffbd6136ed6a95c549af12dc7c544710459d38af5e486e42dd34d81b323/Steinunn_MA2_2026_05.JPG" /> <img width="4142" height="6213" width_o="4142" height_o="6213" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/371ee43adc017213841f842a0afd0ee69f4c87bb51299db0ad0ee4c4d5da33d8/Steinunn_MA2_2026_02.JPG" data-mid="252906581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/371ee43adc017213841f842a0afd0ee69f4c87bb51299db0ad0ee4c4d5da33d8/Steinunn_MA2_2026_02.JPG" /> <img width="6240" height="4160" width_o="6240" height_o="4160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ee9d02d9c221c1cfdb7b7613e29e3c7afe274152ab9e93472691bb6586c9665e/Steinunn_MA2_2026_07.JPG" data-mid="252906586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ee9d02d9c221c1cfdb7b7613e29e3c7afe274152ab9e93472691bb6586c9665e/Steinunn_MA2_2026_07.JPG" /> photos: Anne Rombach &amp; Steinunn Önnudóttir Green Growth https://steinunnonnudottir.com/Green-Growth Wed, 12 Oct 2022 15:30:01 +0000 steinunnonnudottir https://steinunnonnudottir.com/Green-Growth steinunn önnudóttir overview information Künstlerhaus Bethanien10.04. – 14.06.2025 <img width="5879" height="3919" width_o="5879" height_o="3919" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2965e2d8b9533ab4beb32cbe0db01e47fe77040ef7330adbec17e39dfed1052d/05_2025_-Steinunn-Onnudottir_fot-joanna-wilk_exhibition_9.jpg" data-mid="233685521" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2965e2d8b9533ab4beb32cbe0db01e47fe77040ef7330adbec17e39dfed1052d/05_2025_-Steinunn-Onnudottir_fot-joanna-wilk_exhibition_9.jpg" /> Green Growth For her exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, marking the conclusion of her residency, Steinunn Önnudóttir is creating a site-specific installation that explores the fragile balance between decay and growth. She engages with the visual and material language of these processes, making visible the subtle, often overlooked dynamics that permeate urban space. At the core of the work is the tension between the unstoppable force of nature and humanity’s efforts to control it: roots breaking through asphalt, ivy winding through fences—symbols of a resilient nature that asserts itself despite urban constraints. Based on her intensive observations of Berlin, the artist examines the complex interplay between the city, nature, and capitalist environmental strategies, particularly in the context of so-called ‘green’ investments and their often ambivalent effects. A massive, sprawling arch structure forms the centerpiece of the installation. Its scorchmarks evoke industrial production processes, while its form conjures romantic associations with an idealized natural landscape. But this illusion crumbles: a large, tree-like sculpture lies uprooted on the ground, symbolizing the tension between natural growth and human intervention. On the walls, algae growth appears to rise—a painterly extension of the practice, oscillating between control and chance. The windows are coated with a greenish film that distorts the view of the outside world, as if a veil has been placed over perception. Architectural elements of the space are deliberately integrated to challenge the boundaries between the interior and exterior. By using materials in various stages of decay, the artist makes the constant transition between growth and decomposition visible. Steinunn Önnudóttir views the processes of growth and decay as metaphors for confronting the capitalist logic that exploits nature as a resource while simultaneously attempting to domesticate its uncontrollable aspects. Her work is grounded in a critical engagement with the concepts of ‘Green Growth’ and ‘Degrowth’—two opposing positions within the ecological sustainability debate. While ‘Green Growth’ drives economic expansion through technological innovation and supposedly sustainable production methods within a capitalist framework, ‘Degrowth’ advocates for a radical reduction in economic activities to preserve natural resources. Through her work, Steinunn Önnudóttir investigates how the term ‘green’ is increasingly instrumentalized to conceal capitalist agendas. Yet beyond the political dimension, the installation remains a silent, powerful image of the inevitability of natural processes—the flow of time, the ephemeral, and the uncontrollable. The installation becomes a stage where nature and artifice collide—a scene between idyll and disaster, utopia and decay. The elements in the space appear as relics from a past or future time, oscillating between construction and deconstruction, control and chaos. The artist opens a window to another world—a world where nature and time cannot be tamed but unfold in their own rhythm. text by Antje Weitzel <img width="6336" height="4224" width_o="6336"

However, Messy won the best price of all, the audience favourite, through a very fair and just, and also unsupervised, audience vote. Messy is happy to have invited so many kids as her guests in the audience, because as we now know, kids have no shame :) In another house https://steinunnonnudottir.com/In-another-house Mon, 26 May 2025 00:48:56 +0000 steinunnonnudottir https://steinunnonnudottir.com/In-another-house steinunn önnudóttir overview information with Guðlaug Mía Eyþórsdóttir &amp; Hanna Dís Whitehead Ásmundarsalur 2022 In another house ‘In another house’ is a collaborative exhibition by Guðlaug Mía Eyþórsdóttir, Hanna Dís Whitehead &amp; Steinunn Önnudóttir The exhibition takes the shape of a home.

The installation is an immersive environment where viewers can walk around sculptures that render an otherworldly vista. It offers a journey of organic, simulated, abstract and invented textures in a landscape implying desolation while drawing up scenes both in miniature and monumental scale. The artists received a nomination for the Icelandic Art Prize for the exhibition. <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840"

https://steinunnonnudottir.com/feigdaros-dreamfields-photos-and-publication steinunn önnudóttir overview information in collaboration with Anna Hrund Másdóttir and Ragnheiður Káradóttirat Kling &amp; Bang Gallery, Marshall House2021 feigðarós — dreamfields feigðarós — dreamfields is not a traditional group exhibition but a collaborative artwork,­ a show where the artists’ individual ideas and artistic palettes have blended and transformed as they got to know each other’s work and thought processes. The installation is an immersive environment where viewers can walk around sculptures that render an otherworldly vista. It offers a journey of organic, simulated, abstract and invented textures in a landscape implying desolation while drawing up scenes both in miniature and monumental scale. Parallel to the installation the artists photographed textural experiments placed in odd but familiar surroundings, and exhibited both in the show and catalogue. The catalogue also has new texts written by four Icelandic authors; Bergþóra Snæbjörnsdóttir, Guðrún Eva Mínervudóttir, Gunnar Theodór Eggertsson and Tyrfingur Tyrfingsson who thoughtfully shared their ideas and input, giving different frameworks for the artwork. <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000"

D-36Reykjavík Art Museum 14.03. — 12.05.2019 curated by Aldís Snorradóttir Non Plus Ultra &nbsp; Ever since in classical antiquity, the painting has, among other things, been used to imitate the real world and deceive the eye. It has been referred to as a window to another dimension. Steinunn Önnudóttir’s exhibition is a still life of sorts, simultaneously a painting and an installation. In chasing the real world, we get a glimpse of a struggle between the material and the intention. Steinunn approaches the work on the terms of the painting and stretches the concept’s form, material and texture. &nbsp; &nbsp; Steinunn deals with painting tradition in a wide sense, exploring the characteristics of the material and its manifestation through history and into the present. She reflects on reality and mimesis, what it and what pretends to be. Can something exist without existing in reality? How true to the original does the copy have to be? Is it enough to present a substitute, for a concept to take off? As well as pondering these questions, Steinunn invites the viewer to become a subject in the painting as soon as they enter the space. &nbsp; &nbsp; The title of the exhibition is a reference to the ancient view of the Greeks and Romans, who believed that the world’s end lay beyond the Strait of Gibraltar. “Non plus ultra” is Latin for “No more beyond”. By using this title, Steinunn refers to that which we do not see. What lies beyond the visible world? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Text by Aldís Snorradóttir <img width="6000" height="3832" width_o="6000" height_o="3832"
