Highlands (2010–)
The vast and various nature of the uninhabited Icelandic highlands is of immense importance to the psyche of the nation. Since 2010 Einar Falur has kept documenting various aspects of how men approach, enjoy and use the highlands, by photographing both people staying there for various reasons and the diverse structures constructed and made there. In 2018 he was one of the artists commissioned by the Reykjavík Art Museum to produce work for the large exhibition No Man‘s Land – Where Beauty Alone Reigns? where work by dozens of artists from several generations dealing with the highlands of Iceland was exhibited.
