This time the sentence took place at the work of art Absorbed by Light at Hegningarhúsið on Skólavörðustígur. The work was on display at the Light Festival in Amsterdam, which ended in mid-January. This is a kind of participatory work and the artist refers to the use of telephones, three beings are sitting on a bench, they are there but far away in the mind. The piece was very popular in Skólavörðustígur.
