HEIMAEY [HOME ISLAND]

There is a little island, close to the Southern coast of Iceland: its name is Heimaey. This story is like the island itself: it has no real beginning and no concrete end, but it just shows a way of existing. So the land, so the people. Un’isola minuta affianca la costa meridionale dell’Islanda: il suo nome è Heimaey. La storia che segue ha i contorni dell’isola stessa: non traccia un punto d’inizio, nè vuole chiudersi concretamente in una fine, ma si limita a descrivere un certo modo di esistere. Così per la terra, così per i suoi abitanti.

The project is divided in 2 parts. The first one depicts Heimaey from the outside: its landscapes, streets, houses. Slowly, the project gets to the second part, where the human presence is the protagonist: Heimaey is approached from the inside, depicting some of its inhabitants and their peculiarities.
