Snorri Asmundsson (1966) is an artist that often seeks to affect the society by public events. He has disturbed the community he lives in for some years with extensive and remarkable performances where he works with social taboos like politics, sex and religion. He has observed the reactions of the society, that is peoples response when accepted values are turned upside down, for example when a powerless individual takes in his hands power that normally is assigned by predetermined rules. Howsoever people react to these grandstand performances of the artist; he is first and foremost challenging sociological and religious values. He seeks sharp responses and examines the limits of his fellow man as well as his own.
