Sveit

digital video + mixed media, 30 minutes, Iceland, 2009

While unpacking memories and stories of her grandfather's experience as a New American in North Dakota, Kyja documents the history and mythology of her family's emigration while negotiating the reality of present day Iceland. A non-fiction, avant-doc experience that combines animation and experimental technique, Sveit is a geneography of memory and place.

Made posible with generous support from a Bush Artist Fellowship, Fulbright Full Grant, and residencies through the Corporation of Yaddo and Skaftfell Midstod.
