Within Katla: Artist talk by Camille Dunlop | 26 Sep 2026
Camille Dunlop discussed the development of Within Katla, a new immersive performance set beneath the retreating glacier above Iceland’s subglacial volcano, followed by a screening of the work in performance.
About
As part of the programme accompanying the exhibition From the Land, Proposition hosted an artist talk with Camille Dunlop about her new immersive performance Within Katla, developed during her residency at Punchdrunk and The Architectural Association Dip12.
The performance was situated at the threshold between body and landscape, myth and data, ice and fire. Set in southern Iceland, where the subglacial volcano Katla stirred beneath a rapidly retreating glacier, the work wove together Icelandic folklore, digital environments, motion capture, spatial sound and live seismic data to create a visceral encounter with a landscape in flux.
Created by Camille Dunlop in collaboration with Leah Wallace, Kevin Pollard and Ed Lewis, Within Katla was explored through a discussion of the work’s development and the ideas behind the performance, alongside a screening of a film capturing the work in performance, directed by Matt Edgson.
