This comic book/graphic novel tells the story of how iclandic artists Egill Sæbjörnsson met the trolls and how they got involved with contemporary art. When Ūgh and Bõögȃr heard, that Egill was to represend Iceland at the Venice Biennial 2017, they wanted not only be in Venice, they developed a concept of a pavilion as a café and meeting point for the art world.

The publication includes a text by curator Stefanie Böttcher.

Egill Sæbjörnsson is a visual artist, performer, musician and composer. His works often consist of combinations of real objects, the illusion and magic of projected video and sound. New technologies, performance and music play an integral role in his pieces as well. Egill is witty, ingenious and deep, all in one. He makes us confused and surprised and leads us to pose ontological questions, doing so in an enjoyable way. Sæbjörnsson’s works are of an experiential nature, requiring neither instructions nor education in order to be understood.

Artistic Director of Kunsthalle Mainz
