Halldór Ragnarsson - Causa Sui
In his art, Halldór Ragnarsson reflects on the philosophy of language and the eternal cycle of emotions in connection to language and meaning. Using sentences and phrases from his immediate environment, he bends the rules of language and plays with words and unusual expressions. Repetition, as Halldór puts it, “can be approached as a mantra while working even though some of these lines are sometimes something that you never want to hear again. By repeating these sentences, I am able to place myself in this present moment and I guess through the practice of repetition certain calm develops in my works, wherein through the act of writing the words are neither past nor future“.
The art is printed on matte, museum-quality paper sourced from Japan.
