inkavik

A slow journey to the rhythm of water and light, an encounter with a territory and its inhabitants.

💙 Merci. Takk. Merci encore.

💙 Merci. Takk. Merci encore.

AprĂšs des semaines sur la route, dans la boue, le vent, la lumiĂšre et parfois le silence, on prend enfin le temps de dire merci.

Merci Ă  toutes celles et ceux qui ont cru au projet Inkavik, qui nous ont soutenus sur Ulule, suivi le voyage, partagĂ© les posts, encouragĂ© les croquis, et vibrĂ© avec nous jusqu’au dernier kilomĂštre.

🎹 Les goodies et reproductions issus de la campagne Ulule sont dĂ©sormais presque tous distribuĂ©s !

Vos murs, vos carnets, vos bureaux accueillent dĂ©sormais un petit morceau d’Islande et d’aventure — et ça, c’est la plus belle des rĂ©compenses.

📩 Pour celles et ceux qui n’ont pas pu participer à temps : bonne nouvelle !

Nous rĂ©flĂ©chissons Ă  mettre en vente prochainement quelques nouvelles reproductions de certaines Ɠuvres rĂ©alisĂ©es pendant le voyage.

Certaines aquarelles sont encore en cours de finalisation, d’autres tout juste sorties de l’atelier — il y aura sans doute de jolies surprises.

Merci encore pour votre confiance, votre patience et votre enthousiasme.

C’est grñce à vous que ce projet continue de vivre, bien au-delà du carnet et des routes d’Islande.

📆 September 18 — After Iceland, another adventure begins

A little over two weeks after our return, the Icelandic dust has settled—and with it, the pace is slowly returning to a more “normal” pace. Gabrielle is back in France, surrounded by piles of notebooks, sheets of paper, and colorful sketches. She sorts,...

📍 ///successfully.clerics.mountains The night was great, despite the various things on our minds. First of all: will we be able to reach Seydisfjördur and catch the ferry? Without that, it's like dominoes... nothing goes right, everything goes wrong. And we don't dare...

📍 ///hyping.unloads.ledges A quick clarification following my visit to Geysir and Gullfoss. When I use the word "Disneyland," it's not a criticism of how anyone chooses to travel. Tourism is vital to Iceland—in fact, after fishing, it's one of...

📍 ///mattresses.scrubbers.ditty Once the tent is folded – not without difficulty because of the rain, wind, and cold – we set off in search of water and, above all, gasoline, the real lifeblood of these lands. Then, as Iceland obliges, we stop at Geysir, the famous geyser...
