// About the Project

"Lost in Reykjavík" is a photographic documentation project capturing misplaced objects discovered throughout Reykjavík, Iceland during 2024 fieldwork. Objects range from single gloves and shoes found in melting snow to increasingly bizarre out-of-place items. The project employs anthropological principles of making the familiar strange, using these mundane objects to invite questions about responsibility toward found objects, material culture, and how items become "lost".
