Ice Cores, Susan Schuppli, 2019, 66’
Artist and researcher Susan Schuppli’s Ice Cores is the first in a series of documentary films and part of the project Learning from Ice. This long-term research investigates various practices—from glaciology to activism, policy, and law—that engage with the material conditions of ice and respond to the impact of climate change. Documenting the activities of scientists who work with ice core samples extracted from frozen environments, the film captures how glacial ice acts as a material witness to global warming.
water sleep II Akaike river under Xizang Road, Su Yu Hsin, 2019, 10’
This film essay by artist and filmmaker Su Yu Hsin guides the viewer to find a lost river depicted in historical maps. Investigating how historical maps are produced, read, and shared, the film provides insights into Taiwan’s colonial past and shifts the focus toward objective portrayals of the landscape.
In One’s Breath—Nothing Stands Still, Tuấn Mami, 2018, 30’
Artist Tuấn Mami looks into the pollution, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of indigenous culture in his hometown, Hà Nam, Vietnam, caused by exploitative stone mining. Drawing on the artist’s years-long fieldwork in the region, the film sheds light on the destructive consequences of rapid and unsustainable industrialization on land, ecosystem, and the local community.
Los órganos internos de la Madre Tierra [Mother Earth’s Inner Organs], Ana Bravo Pérez, 2022, 22’
Artist and filmmaker Ana Bravo Pérez traces the source of the coal stench in the port of Amsterdam, which leads her to an open wound in northern Colombia. The film portrays the vast impact of the coal mine on the land and indigenous Wayuu people.
