Glacial
Creep records a journey taken down the Tasman Glacier in New
Zealand. As with Mungo Bush Walk the journey is recorded by a
specially adapted camera rig with a digital pinhole that the artist
wears. The camera takes a continuous sequence of long exposure,
pinhole photographs, that, in an uncomposed way capture the
surrounding scenery, travelling from the mountain top peaks, to the wide open, white expanses of
ice fields, through shattered ice falls, and finally on to the darker
moraine fields.
The
sequence of stills has been rendered into a slowly shifting film
exhibited as a large immersive installation and also in the form of
prints from the sequence.
Glacial Creep was commissioned COCA Christchurch, New Zealand for the exhibition Precarious Nature. 2016
