Quite the Situation is a book work by Icelandic artist/composer Inki. A unique souvenir from Iceland that brings together history, culture and art.

This book is not a book. This book is a musical composition. It is designed like a composer writes music. The piece is quiet at first but as more voices start to play it becomes louder. It plays a familiar tune that has sounded through centuries and questions our current conversation about female sexuality. It‘s a conversation about the present, using the language of the past.


Quite the Situation is a multimedia work and the book come to live through augmented reality. It is composed of three elements: This book work, an album release , and an installation, premiered at The Reykjavik Arts Festival. They fold into one another, creating a three dimensional story, tied together with the strings of time and yet unbound by it.
