Sigurrós Guðbjörg Björnsdóttir: SKORPA
22 October, 2022–13 November, 2022
Crust on a short trip.
A rake standing in a cone was found in a parking lot. The rake became a tassel on a hat which became a cone-hat, which became a bowler hat, which then ended up being a tail-cap.
It wasn’t until much later that I heard about the tail-cap’s whereabouts when it was found on a lost camera card. After that, it was impossible not to keep it close.

Sleep tight, whose pillow is this? I dreamt for a whole week until the pillow disappeared. First, the pillow sat majestically on the pavement, the next day it was lying in a swing, another day it was hiding in a bush, and so on. The pillow traveled around the garden until it disappeared.
Inside a fenced area, outlines of a bread loaf were scattered around and a cinnamon bun lay on freshly laid bricks. It looks like someone is trying to tell me something using an alphabet made of crusts. The short trip is getting rather long. These must be clues as to where I should go.

Skorpa í stuttri ferð.
Á bílaplani fannst hrífa sem stóð ofan í keilu. Hrífan í keilunni varð að skúfi á hatti sem varð að keiluhatti, sem varð að kúluhatti, sem endaði svo að vera skotthúfa. Segir svo ekki af skotthúfinni fyrr en löngu síðar þegar hún fannst á týndu myndavélakorti. Eftir það var ómögulegt að hafa hana ekki með sér.
Sofðu rótt, hver á þennan kodda? Dreymdi mig í heila viku þangað til koddinn hvarf. Fyrst sat koddinn tignarlegur á stéttinni, næsta dag lá hann í rólu, annan dag faldi hann sig í runna, og svo koll af kolli. Hann ferðaðist um garðinn þangað til hann hvarf.
Á afgirtu svæði lágu útlínur af heilu heimilisbrauði og snúður á nýlögðum hellum. Það lítur allt út fyrir að einhver sé að reyna að segja mér eitthvað með stafrófi úr skorpum. Stutta ferðin fer að verða heldur löng. Þetta hljóta að vera vísbendingar um hvert ég á að fara.
