HVERFANDI by María Rún Þrándardóttir

A lot of times, the absolute best way to experiment with the camera is to go to art shows and photograph other people’s art work. This is both a lot of fun and slightly frustrating because it brings some questions of whether a photograph of someone else’s work is wholly original to the photographer who took the photograph. There’s a grey area. If I take an amazing photograph of a building, is it the architect who deserves credit for the look of the photograph? What about a dance piece? Where does the line get drawn? For me, the artist deserves the credit, at least in the title, in regards to a photograph in a gallery space as they are the reason the photograph exists at all.
