Sigurður Guðjónsson is best known for his striking time-based media works that investigate man-made machinery and technical relics, in conjunction with their natural elements. Powerfully combining moving imagery and sound, the artist’s complex, multi-layered works create a striking experience for the viewer.

His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, in such institutions as the National Gallery of Iceland, Reykjavik Art Museum, Scandinavia House in New York, Frankfurter Kunstverein in Germany, Arario Gallery in Beijing, Liverpool Biennial in the UK, Tromsø Center for Contemporary Art in Norway, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and Bergen Kunsthall in Norway.

He often collaborates with musical composers, resulting in intricate work, allowing the visual compositions to enchantingly merge with the musical ones in a single rhythmic and tonal whole. Sigurður Guðjónsson currently represents Iceland at the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in 2022.
