Beyond the End - The Polar Project comprises of a series of video installations and photographs based on material filmed in Upernavik Isfjord, Greenland, north of the Arctic Circle.
It shows members of the Inuit community, who are standing alone on ice platforms and drifting away into the open and remote wildness of the Arctic. The piece reflects on the everyday challenges and efforts of these individuals, but also on the basic qualities of human beings living in that region. How do they survive in such extreme situations? What are the beliefs and core values that support them in hard times?
