letter to the future
Occurrence Gallery, Montréal May - June 2021
Letters to the Future is a photograph, video and sound installation based on an actual time capsule buried in an Antarctic glacier in 2019, containing letters written to the future. No one from the present has seen the letters, except the authors themselves. Contributors include poet Anne Michaels, former Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council Okalik Eegeesiak, theoretical physicist and author Carlo Rovelli, composer Arvo Pärt, politician-ecologist Steven Guilbeault and posthuman philosopher Rosi Braidotti. Letters to the Future uses images, sounds, ice and text—the words in the ice, and those spoken by the contributors—as materials. This affirmative, collective gesture provokes consideration of our present and the possibilities for our future.
