Snorri
Asmundsson (1966) is an artist that often seeks to affect the society
by public events. He has disturbed the community he lives in for
some years with extensive and remarkable performances where he works
with social taboos like politics, sex and religion. He has observed
the reactions of the society, that is peoples response when accepted
values are turned upside down, for example when a powerless individual
takes in his hands power that normally is assigned by predetermined
rules. Howsoever people react to these grandstand performances of
the artist; he is first and foremost challenging sociological and
religious values. He seeks sharp responses and examines the limits
of his fellow man as well as his own.
