Product Description

(The book is signed by both authors)

Here artists Roman Signer and Tumi Magnússon reflect on life, travel, and the production of art.

When You Travel in Iceland You See a Lot of Water is Signer’s love letter to Iceland’s harsh charms. Created in conjunction with Icelandic artist Tumi Magnússon (*1957), his close friend and frequent traveling companion, the book mixes personal snapshots with anecdotes, reminiscences, and humorous observations about travel, the natural world, the differences between Switzerland and Iceland, and—as with any conversation between artists—the difficulties of making art, no matter where one calls home. When You Travel in Iceland You See a Lot of Water is thus a travel book unlike any other, one whose authors simultaneously invite you along on a journey and extend a hand in friendship.

The book received an award from the Stiftung Buchkunst in the 2010 competition Most Beautiful Books from Germany.
