Screening: 'The Green Land' in Biffen, Nordkraft

An illuminating and almost artificial green color runs through the landscape as a developer liquid making present the processes of nature: from ice to rock to water to earth to fire. Is it an alchemist, the premodern scientist, who is at work with his chemical witchcraft? Or is it a forest fire out of control as one image of the traumatizing depictions of nature circulating in the age of climate crisis?

This evening offers a ’sneak peak’ presentation of the Danish/Greenlandic artist Inuk Silis Høegh’s impressive filmic art installation: The Green Land. The film, which is a collaboration between Høegh and Danish sound artist, Jacob Kirkegaard, converges sound and image recordings into a unique narrative about Greenlandic nature. At the same time, it poses fundamental questions about the relation between modern human being and nature. Following the film, Inuk Silis Høegh, on-line from Nuuk, will engage in a panel debate with anthropologist Astrid Oberborbeck Andersen and the audience. The debate will be hosted by curator and art researcher Signe Meisner Christensen.

The event is part of The Third Place, a public art programme about the ties between Greenland and Aalborg. The Third Place is curated by DECOLONI_AAL and is a collaboration with The Greenlandic House in Aalborg and Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg.

The Green Land was produced by Ánorâk Film I/S.
