Hot-Dog Poetry by Estelle Pollaert. 


Do you have a poem in your belly?

Put it on paper and tuck it into a hot dog.
About anything, in any language,
With a name or without — it doesn’t matter.
We look forward to reading it.

Estelle Pollaert is a French illustrator based in Reykjavík, Iceland. Originally trained in product design and glassblowing in France and Finland, she now focuses on playful, imaginative art projects. Working across illustration, papier-mâché, ceramics, glass, and textiles, she creates colorful, whimsical works often inspired by food, absurd characters, and curious situations. Estelle is also a staff member at The Nordic House, where she has contributed to a variety of projects, including illustrations, creative workshops, and teaching classes for children and adults.

For this year’s Pølse&Poesi, she has installed her work, Spádóms pylsa and Teppa pylsa, in the Atrium of The Nordic House for all visitors to enjoy.
