-- glacier holobiont was a solo exhibition at STAGE Gallery in early 2025.

the show consisted of a listening tent containing a CD player which played one track, tundra harmonic; a video projection; wall-mounted documents; a small library; a torch-speaker playing a soundtrack of ambient music with glacier melt field recordings, and with which the dimly-lit space could be navigated; and a reading area with a table, chairs, and binders containing A PATCHY GLACIER HOLOBIONT GROUP ARCHIVE READER. the exhibition presents a fictional archive of remnants from an alternative group of future Arctic science-workers, dating from the years 2033-39.

the public programme accompanying this exhibition involved hosting a series of Ableton workshops for beginners and organising a fundraiser screening of films on Arctic science by Inuit communities.
