Yr Iorþ

Yr Iorþ is a long term project about the swedish island of Gotland.
The word Yr Iorþ comes from the old gutnish language and means out of ground/earth, which was spoken by the people who settled on the island in the 9th century A.D. . As an Island that developed within the last 500 million years, partially underwater & partially above it, its geology holds an incredible amount of history that was affected by change and adaptation. This project arose from the desire to show that change and what now characterizes the island and its inhabitants, who besides nature adapted to but also formed this very island into what it is today. ongoing
