Mixed media
frost flowers/arctic death machine is a movement exhibition inspired by the story of Sir John Franklin’s doomed 1845 expedition in search of the Northwest Passage, and the Canadian, English, aboriginal and contemporary histories that overlap this story. Equal parts dance, sculpture, sound-scape and video installation, it is designed to be a kind of hallucinatory post-dramatic circus inviting the witness into a dream/nightmare of the North.
