Lady Winter

I lived in Olafsfjordur, a small and remote village in the north of Iceland, for two months. I expected to depict human behaviour in adverse atmospheric conditions and investigate the consequences this can have in its bond with nature and landscape. I was very curious to discover how people live in very extreme atmospheric conditions, comparing to mine. I wanted to know how they adapt to the cold and the snow. If they feel affected by the days in which the sun is only seen for five hours. I wanted to know which are the social activities in a town covered by ice and how life is in their houses. I also wanted to see up close how landscape and its inhabitants coexist. I wanted to go into the winter.
