As Arctic ice melts, borders shift once inaccessible places and resources become accessible, and new claims to raw materials and territories are made. What is in our heads as a romantic image of wilderness becomes a playground for geopolitical and economic interests. The Arctic is changing like never before, from a romanticized image of wild, harsh nature to a technological place full of economic interests. The Arctic has become a hotspot of border shifts and geopolitical interests. The essay film „In the Ice, everything leaves a trace“ is a poetic approach to this place and makes the invisible visible.
„In the Ice, everything leaves a trace“ Is the outcome of joint research of the Author Gianna Molinari and the Artist Christoph Oeschger. We started in Greenland; we recognized that the Arctic is also elsewhere: In the tubes, under microscopes, electronics, and maps.
