Clerks of Hafnargata Afgreiðslufólk frá Hafnargötu
COMPLETED 18.08.2024
Premiere: 5th September 2024, Reykjanesbær
“Clerks of Hafnargata” is an attempt to register the current status of local community’s main commercial street. To find out and show, who’s there, at the counters, providing services.
The idea behind
IS
Frá upphaflegu byggðum Keflavíkur hefur Hafnargata alltaf verið mikilvægur staður þar sem fólk hittist, fór í verslanir og umgengist.
Nú á dögum, þjóta nútímans og aðallega stórum verslunarkeðjur gerir það að verkum að við tökum oft ekki eftir því hverja við hittum í litlum staðbundnum verslunum og þjónustustöðum, sem enn eru að taka stóra þátt í sameiningu okkar bæjarsamfélag.
EN
Since original settlements of Keflavik, Hafnargata has always been an important place where people met, went shopping and socialised.
Nowadays, the rush of modern times and mainly discount shopping makes us often not even notice who we interfere with or meet at small local stores and service points, which still are a great and binding asset to our
community.
PL
Od powstania Keflaviku, ulica Hafnargata była zawsze ważnym miejscem, gdzie ludzie spotykali się, robili zakupy i spędzali razem czas.
Obecnie zaś, nieustanny pośpiech i zakupy w dyskontach sprawiają, że często nie zauważamy nawet, z kim spotykamy się w lokalnych sklepach i punktach usługowych, które wciąż są ważnymi miejscami spajającymi lokalną społeczność.
