Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir's recent site-specific installation, “Neighbours(series)”, is made from photographic images that the artist took from Google Maps and printed on plexiglass. Birgisdóttir chose frames in different sizes and designs from a grocery shop located across the exhibition space in Athens, Greece, where the exhibition was held as part of H2H festival.
