End of the World | Antarctica
End of the World | Antarctica

End of the World | Antarctica is an ongoing project which explores the impacts of climate change in Antarctica. I see climate change in a similar way to an illness that takes hold of your body. It starts silently, unnoticed. By the time it's deeply visible the entire ecosystem is in a cytokine storm almost impossible to control.

On February 6, 2020, weather stations recorded the hottest temperature on record for Antarctica. Thermometers at the Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula reached 18.3°C (64.9°F) The warm weather caused widespread melting on nearby glaciers.I imagine all the tiny snowflakes that had fallen over many lifetimes to build this masterpiece and all the life that depends on it. With the loss of sea ice, we face mass extinctions of wildlife and sea-level rise, which will ripple all across the globe.

End of the World | Antarctica is currently exhibiting at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies - IMAS gallery in Nipaluna, Lutruwita | Hobart, Tasmania until Friday 22nd of April 2022.

The exhibition is co-organised and supported by the Embassy of France in Australia and the AFRAN association.
