Drifts is a research-driven exhibition of new video and sound works that visit life on the periphery of the northern polar ice cap and connected ecologies, within the International Territory of Svalbard. The materials for the works assembled in Drift were gathered in August 2024 during an expedition through the sea ice that rotates around the geographic north pole: Untitled (Pack Ice) (2024), surveys the crumbling pack ice, captured by drifting within the edges of Earth’s northern polar ice cap, filmed at 92 degrees north, 8 degrees from the geographic north pole. Untitled (Radio Silence) (2024) locates spaces where human transmissions are missing from the electromagnetic spectrum. Lost or absorbed, filtered by rock, ocean, and the expanse of tundra, radio silences are rare to find on the planet Earth, making space for other signals to become legible.
Drift is presented as part of Fulcrum Festival 2024: Waves Upon Waves.
