During FotoWeek, seemingly mismatched exhibitions pop up regularly at local galleries, which explains why both Icelandic landscapes and photos of demolition derbies are on display at Hillyer Art Space this month. The images of Iceland are infinitely quieter and more meditative, of course. The collection’s most expressive images are also the most melancholy: Katrín Elvarsdóttir’s photographs of run-down RVs in nature and Friðgeir Helgason’s bits of forlorn detritus amid sprawling landscapes, from soccer goals to playground slides (shown). Traces of humanity, evidently, prove more interesting than pure nature.
