Setting the scene in some of the world’s harshest climes, Charrière used frozen landscapes as a stage to explore the changing perception of these fascinating places from untameable wilderness to fragile ecosystem. In filming his work, Charrière used two drones that hovered over the ice and snow by night - one equipped with a camera, the other with a spotlight. As the camera moves in and out of the light’s field, a story begins to unfold about these isolated, rarely-experienced locales. “Filming primarily at night, the landscape transformed into both actor and stage the moment it was illuminated by the rays of the drone’s spotlight,” Charrière added. The narrative that emerges is that, without light, there is no knowledge of the landscape. Indeed, there is no landscape.
