Antarctic Resolution
La Biennale di Venezia, 2021
Giulia Foscari / UNLESS launch Antarctic Resolution, a multidisciplinary project co-authored by the world’s leading experts on the Antarctic, at the Biennale Architettura 2021.
Antarctic Resolution, is premiered at “How will we live together?”, the 17th International Architecture Exhibition curated by Hashim Sarkis, Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Exhibited within the Central Pavilion of the Giardini della Biennale, the research – which preludes to a publication edited by Giulia Foscari / UNLESS which will be released for the occasion – is presented alongside the symbolic Heroic Age snow goggles worn by Captain Scott while man-hauling across the Antarctic and the pioneering Antarctic Suit designed by D-Air Lab in collaboration with UNLESS as a portable environment which enables survival on the hostile white desert. The collective call for action is amplified, within the exhibition, by the alarming soundscape produced by Arcangelo Sassolino’s 250 times per second, a performative installation informed by scientific data provided by David Vaughan (lead glaciologist for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration), that powerfully denounces the accelerated thinning of the cryosphere and rise in global sea level.
