Bloodline from 874 to 1988
Guðrún Arndís Tryggvadóttir 2016

Piece nr. 12 of 12, installation at the Bloodline exhibition.

Generations nr. 1-33.

Measured from the settlement of Iceland in 874 untill the birth of my daughter in 1988, the latest female in my Dalir bloodline, with the average of 33,33 years between generations, make up 33 generations from the settlement to date.

With the bloodsamples in the cupboard I want to point to the vast number of generations of foremothers that have possibly lived in Dalir and fought for their survival.
