Hulda Rós Gudnadóttir works within the intersection of contemporary visual art and film. Born in Reykjavík, she has been based in Berlin for the last 15 years, keeping one foot still on the ground in Iceland. Although her works are global in reference they are always rooted in a deep personal perspective and experience that benefits from her origins in the arctic North and also her inter-local way of living. Her projects are long-term processes based on immersive research, interdisciplinary collaborations and social engagement where she follows the interconnectedness of current philosophical ideas, social systems and human perception of the environment. The projects manifest themselves to the public as poetic yet humorous, experimental and critical creative documentaries. as large mixed-media installations or more spontaneous single-channel videos, performances, interventions, sculptures and digital photography.

Gudnadóttir holds an MA in interactive design from Middlesex University (2001), a BA in visual art from Iceland University of the Arts (2007) and a BA in cultural anthropology from the University of Iceland (1997).  She has been nominated for and won several prizes including the Gudmundu award for outstanding female artists in 2019. She has exhibited solo in museums such as Berlinische Galerie (12 x 12 program), Reykjavik Art Museum and ASI Art Museum in Reykjavik, as well as at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin where she was an artist-in residence in 2018-2019.
