Hannah Bemelmans: Iceland

These pictures are from Thingvellir, Iceland.  Here you can see the rifts created by tectonic plate movement. These pictures are taken between the plates of North America and Eurasia.  This is also the site of Iceland's first official government.  When the settlers decided to create a singular government, they searched the land and decided on this place to assemble once a year to make laws and settle disputes.

For years I have photographed people going about there business during the day, lately for personal reasons I have decided to photograph people in a looser drunker setting, they are both relaxed and hyper attuned. They go out to have fun and meet people, which can be either eased or complicated by various intoxicants. However this is not a project about what drunk college kids look like, its about what people look like when they go out in the night looking for something or some one they need to be able to lay down and sleep til dawn.
