Old ice in the Arctic is not eternal. It happens to all of us at the same time, we deposit ourselves as layers of earth. Are we thus equal?In April 2022, artist Judith Neunhäuserer sailed along Svalbard with The Arctic Circle – Artist & Scientist Residency Program. She took part in the Spring Expedition, which started in Tromsø and ended in Longyearbyen. Two months before the trip, she started keeping a diary. It melts together weather situations, body sensations and primary emotions, gallery and archive visits, IPCC reports and therapy sessions. There were twenty-five other artists on board the ship as well as eleven crew members. She interviewed one of them each day, following a fixed catalogue of questions.
