slow drift

Jasmin İhraç

„We’ve seen over the past three decades a reduction in Arctic sea ice area in summer by about 50% . The remaining ice floes are only half as thick as they used to be. The sea ice volume is therefore only about one quarter compared to what we had thirty years ago. We humans have melted the other three quarters.“ In her performance Jasmin İhraç works with the movement of ice, its aggregate and sculptural states, sharing parts of her research on the Ocean, ice and geophysical forces.
