Crevasse, 2006

Crevasse is a two-channel video installation depicting a gradual ascent out of an Antarctic crevasse. The ascent, captured simultaneously on two cameras (one downward facing and one upward facing), is replayed in the gallery space – the footage from the downward facing camera is projected onto the floor while the footage from the upward facing camera is projected onto the ceiling.

Crevasse was filmed near Rothera Research Station during the artist's 90-day residency to Antarctica with the British Antarctic Survey. During her fellowship, the artist made several other films including Wanderers, Soup and Horizon (Port, Starboard) as well as her interactive online drawing Polar Wandering.
