Traveling with the migratory birds

And with Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir, a singer from the Nordic island state who loves the poetic, mystical traditions of her country and currently not only shines on the major opera stages in Basel and Berlin, but also realizes unusual projects as a photographer and video artist, was nominated directly.
