Next Wednesday at 6pm I will be at the Cinematheque for a guided visit and open question and answer session for Antarctic Traces Revisited! Come and let me know what you think and chat with me about Antarctica, the ice, whales, industrial ruins, our interaction with nature or whatever else you feel like. I’d be happy to see you!
Antarctic Traces is part of the International Nature Film Competition at Vaasa Wildlife Feszival in Finland from Sept 28- Oct 2. The festival focuses on climate change, people’s relationship with Nature and conservation. Wish I was there!
Presented from September 2 to October 30, the exhibition explores the desolate territory of South Georgia, a British island lost in the Atlantic Ocean, off the silent, nearby continent of Antarctica. Austrian multidisciplinary artist Michaela Grill introduces an open dialogue between creation and investigation where the vivid depiction of these landscapes clashes with the archived images, maps, films and photographs that bear witness to how animals and nature have been exploited on the territory.
The opening will be followed at 7 p.m. by a performance by Steve Bates/ Elizabeth A. Vajagic and Nick Kuepfer.
Deep gratitude to Guillaume Lafeur and Doriane Briot for making this dream come true!
