Staś Zawada - HFJ, Self published, 2015, Hafnarfjörður

 

Hardcover, signed, edition of 200 numbered copies.

I moved to Hafnarfjörður in 2008 (actually I lived here temporarily before moving permanently). You could call it suburb of Reykjavík but for me it was always a very different place, a separate town, although I didn't know it too well. I don't know if it is because of the weather or the city planning, but people in Iceland don't walk much, we know our neighbourhoods only through our car windows. Things changed for me when my son was born and I started walking him in his stroller for 10 kms every day.
In tourist brochures, Hafnarfjörður is depicted as the sunny town on lava, full of smiley vikings. It's also place with biggest population of elves in Iceland. I haven't met any vikings on my trips, nor elves. Actually, because I wandered further and further from downtown, I hardly met any people (or huldufólk) and it wasn't sunny either.
