Icelandic singer, composer, and artist Björk has opened a new exhibition titled Echolalia at the National Gallery of Iceland. The exhibition has become one of the central events of the ongoing arts festival in Reykjavik and will be available to visitors until September 2026.
The project combines music, visual art, modern technology, and performance. At the center of the exhibition are three large-scale installations created based on Björk's works. Two of them are inspired by the compositions Ancestress and Sorrowful Soil, dedicated to the memory of her mother. The third piece is based on material from the artist's upcoming album, which has not yet been presented to the public.
The organizers note that the exhibition offers a new perspective on Björk's creative method, which for many years has combined music, film, design, dance, and digital technologies. The exhibition was created in collaboration with musicians, artists, directors, designers, and sound specialists.
For Björk, this is not her first experience working with museum venues. She has previously presented large multimedia projects in various countries around the world; however, the new exhibition has become one of the largest in her native Iceland.
