Unnar Orn Jónasson Audarson
1974, Reykjavik. Lives and works in Malmö, Sweden

Unnar Örn Jónasson’s work employs the factor of trust, a trust in people that they will respond in some way to the situations he sets up. Jónasson accepts that it is impossible to control all circumstances, so it is enough for him to create the parametors and let things run. Jónasson knows that the audience will do something and that he will try and do the right thing or at least, the wrong thing the right way.
