Helgi Hjaltalin Eyjólfsson is an installation artist. Since 1997, all his series and exhibitions have been called ‘Favourable Circumstances’, a title that comes from Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin, in which Darwin postulates that all circumstances are favourable for somebody or something. Helgi Eyjólfsson investigates object and function, construction and purpose, organic forms and man-made structures. His recent installations are ghostly clocks in which the element of temporality has been taken away; stranded domestic objects rendered in pale pitch pine or plywood. Yet removing their functionality makes them all the more powerfully about time.
