Three attempts [video]

Three Attempts is a performance to camera in which the artist Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir attempts to engage with seals in an estuary in the North West of Iceland. We had been made aware of the curiosity of seals and their apparent preference for bright colors, and in the video we observe Snæbjörnsdóttir, dressed in an orange anorak, approach the seashore overlooking an estuary and kneel down facing towards the sea with her back to the camera
