At the end of June, on a former Nato base located 45 minutes from Reykjavik, All Tomorrow’s Parties launched the Icelandic edition of their experimental festival. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Jim Jarmusch’s band SQÜRL and local rock legends Botnleðja amongst others, took to stages in the town of Keflavik. German photographer Ruediger Glatz joined friends Tilda Swinton and artist Sandro Kopp, documenting the polymathic couple’s journey and festival experience. Swinton co-curated ATP’s film screening series with Jarmusch whilst Glatz captured her guest readings of medieval Rumi poetry alongside SQÜRL’s psychedelic performance. “The first time I came to Iceland and saw the beautiful, naked landscape was the moment I fell in love,” muses Glatz on Iceland’s otherworldly environment that he first visited in 2011 and inspired his series of intimate black-and-white stills. “And I was told the Americans left this Army base about seven years ago and since many people lost their jobs, the town of Keflavík has turned into the worst neighborhood of Iceland,” he continues. “Although worst is a relative word.” A former graffiti artist with several features to his name in now-defunct underground art tome, Graphotism, Glatz’s acclaimed reportage work portrays a similar authenticity that fuels the disparate subcultures he captures, from the porn world to the recent riots in Istanbul.
