An evocative chronicle of the power of solitude in the natural world

Im often asked, but have no idea why I chose Iceland, why I first started going, why I still go. In truth I believe Iceland chose me.--from the introduction

Contemporary artist Roni Horn first visited Iceland in 1975 at the age of nineteen, and since then, the islands treeless expanse has had an enduring hold on Horns creative work. Island Zombie distills, through a series of remarkable and poetic reflections, vignettes, episodes, and illustrated essays, the artists lifelong experience with Icelands natural environment. Together, these pieces offer an unforgettable exploration of the indefinable and inescapable force of remote, elemental places, and provide a sustained look at how an island and its atmosphere can take possession of the innermost self.

Island Zombie is a meditation on being present. It vividly conveys Horns experiences, from the deeply profound to the joyful and absurd. Through powerful evocations of the changing weather--the violence of the wind and water--and natural phenomena--the often aggressive birds, the imposing influence of glaciers, and the ubiquitous presence of water in all its variety--we come to understand the authors abiding need for Iceland, a place uniquely essential to Horns creative and spiritual life. The dramatic surroundings provoke examinations of self-sufficiency and isolation, and these ruminations summon a range of cultural companions, including El Greco, Emily Dickinson, Judy Garland, Wallace Stevens, Edgar Allan Poe, William Morris, and Rachel Carson. While brilliantly portraying natures sublime energy, Horn also confronts issues of consumption, destruction, and loss, as the industrial and manmade encroach on Icelandic wilderness.

Filled with musings on a secluded region that perpetually encourages a sense of discovery, Island Zombie illuminates a wild and beautiful Iceland that remains essential and new.
