Abstract or Description

Research contribution to a photography volume by Gregor Sailer that charts spatial and material traces of tensions between geopolitical, economic, and scientific pursuits in the far north.

The chapter examines the Arctic’s intricate landscapes of sensing instruments and infrastructures, focusing in particular on several key research stations visited and documented by Sailer. The piece contends with ways in which these technologies are caught in a complex web of conflicting forces: an escalating climate crisis, growing geopolitical tensions, a race for resource extraction, and a bid for greater environmental protections.

The text is published both in English and in German.
