During each Arctic Circle Residency, around 25 artists explore the environment of the Arctic and translate their experiences of this extraordinary place into their own artistic language. The results of their work will be presented in this exhibition (venue to be announced shortly), inviting visitors on an Arctic journey through the eyes of the artists.
The diversity of the artists’ approaches and their very different ways of engaging with the Arctic are reflected in the works on display.
We all leave ourTRACES in today’s world of high mobility. Some of these traces already have – and will continue to have – enormous consequences for life on this planet. Humanity faces a multitude of challenges linked to the effects of global warming. Melting ice caps may feel distant, yet their transformation brings about visible changes in weather patterns and ecosystems everywhere, as all are interconnected.
Both the Arctic and Antarctic are suffering from a climate far too warm for their fragile regions. The ongoing melting of eternal ice further accelerates rising temperatures: as the polar caps shrink, vast amounts of sunlight are absorbed by dark waters instead of being reflected by the white ice. This vicious cycle intensifies global warming and leads to even more ice loss.
All the people explores the spectrum of individual understandings of gender. The book shows people from Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Los Angeles and New York who define and live out gender in their own way. They see themselves as “transgender”, “gender queer”, drag performers or do not feel they belong to any common definition. The publication brings together their stories and shows portraits that correspond to their self-perception. This collection of sensitive and intimate portraits in pictures and words is also the first joint publication by photographer Bernd Ott and author Emily Besa. The project celebrates human existence in all its forms.
Celia Rogge's work is fundamentally characterized by living between two different cultures, continents, architectures and languages. Her self-proclaimed motto is “Always look up ...”, which she initially means in a figurative sense, but according to her own definition also in a spiritual sense. Her work is divided into her own “Yin & Yang”, “order and emotion”, which is expressed in two very different types of photography, urban and nature photography.
Her inspiration is deeply rooted in the notion of discovery through visual reflections and a strong passion for symmetry and linear structure. Her architectural works of New York City, London and Berlin Reflections invite the viewer to a new perspective on the clean lines of these metropolitan cities. This enthusiasm for linear structure, order and the vanishing point continues in her images of grand interiors across Europe, the United States and Australia.

Efraim Habermann, who narrowly escaped the National Socialist terror with his family, “recaptured” Berlin with his camera in the years following his return. His view of the city and its people was characterized neither by resentment nor sentimentality.
He was not interested in the documentary image, but in the aesthetic composition of the interplay between city and people. This resulted in photographs of great formal rigor, restraint and stillness. There is no coincidence in his work, everything is arranged, held together by a pervasive poetry.
