Exquisite, encrypted, compressed, crumbling. Polarity explores the dynamic movement and extreme nature of Antarctic ice. Through moving bodies, raw sounds of Antarctic ice and shifting shapes, polar icescapes dance in the cityscape, reflecting our deep connection to and impact upon the continent of ice.
Tina Evans received an Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship and sailed to Antarctica in 2010. From this spectacular experience she has created Polarity. Collaborating sound artist Philip Samartzis’ soundscape is made entirely of real recordings of Antarctic ice.
