In the Ice, everything leaves a trace

As Arctic ice melts, borders shift once inaccessible places and resources become accessible, and new claims to raw materials and territories are made. 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 first outcome of joint research of the Author Gianna Molinari and the Artist Christoph Oeschger. We started in Greenland; there, we recognized that the Arctic is also elsewhere: In the tubes, under microscopes, electronics and maps.
What is in our heads as a romantic image of wilderness becomes a playground for geopolitical and economic interests.
