Siku Aappoq / melting ice
Siku Aappoq in Greenland 2015
An intercultural performance installation about the consequences of the global climate changes.
The course of nature is changing along with human existence and behavior. There is a gateway into something new. This is expressed through abstract metaphors: which are characterized as something timeless and universal: A warning of a change soon to come. He installation displays a dialogue between the imbalance in the human and in the iceberg
Nature and mankind are one! We are like the outermost part of a spiral slowly travelling towards the eye of the hurricane. The ice takes on different forms like icebergs, crystal and sheets which will eventually turn into water. The white color of the ice appears in many different hues.
