library of water----RONI HORN



For the past 25 years, the work of Roni Horn has been intimately involved with the distinctive geography, geology, climate and culture of Iceland.

In collaboration with Artangel, Horn has developed VATNASAFN/LIBRARY OF WATER as a multi–faceted long-term installation and community centre in the town of Stykkishólmur on the western coast of Iceland north of Reykjavik. VATNASAFN/LIBRARY OF WATER is situated in Stykkishólmur's former library building, overlooking the ocean on one side and the harbour and town on the other.
