Elín Hansdóttir

What happens when nothing happens?

Elín Hansdóttir’s artistic practice transforms spaces, distorting our sensory experience of space and our sense of spatial orientation. Her exhibition What happens when nothing happens? at the Schering Stiftung is designed to challenge our perception, harnessing for the first time the possibilities of virtual reality. Hansdóttir explores the question of how images and digital media influence our comprehension of a specific space, in this case the Project Space of the Schering Stiftung.
