Turfiction workshop/installation by Tinna Grétarsdóttir, Sigurjón Baldur Hafsteinsson, Hildigunnar Sverrisdóttir & Hannes Lárusson in collaboration with Hjörtur Þorbjörnsson, Bjarndís Helga Tómasdóttir, Stephen Knobloch & Pauline Bergsten. Special thanks to Bryndís Hrönn Ragnarsdóttir.

We work with a fictitious, experiential, and exploded approach to the Icelandic turf house as an ingenious artistic engineering of locality and futurity, human and nonhuman scales, and cohabitation with speculations on spatial and temporal understanding of turf, roots/rhizomatic structures, soil, microbes, stones, and plants.
