The Factory 2025: Sky Dancers explores the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis with artworks as ethereal and ephemeral as the northern lights themselves. Utilizing both science and myth, the 10 artists lead the way through the old herring factory in Djúpavík, awakening the phenomenon rarely visible to our eyes during summertime – gesturing to the untouchable, connecting Earth and Sky.

You may wander back to the time of theoretical ignorance, or dwell upon the scientific explanations of the universe. 

However, light and darkness are always at stake, enacting a multitude of choreographies.
