IQALUIT – 2005
A metal igloo with seven screens showing a fragmented impression of Iqaluit on the rhythm of the city.
In 1999 Canada cede a territory to the Inuit. The size of this area is similar to the size of Western Europe. The Inuit choose their capital: Iqaluit. A city that wants to be bigger than she actually is. Only accessible by plane. 6000 residents, 2500 cars. Only 25 kilometers of roads.
Berlin spent one month in the Arctic in the new capital city of the Inuit. The material is documentary-like, the result an installation with seven screens showing seven different scenes of exactly the same length. The screens are autonomous. There is no chronological order. Each screen depicts an aspect of Iqaluit.
