ANTARCTICA—On board Tara 5, en route to Antarctica with Pierre Huyghe and his crew, I entertained myself mostly with small gestures. This one happened as we had finished the three-day stormy crossing and were finally met by calm weather and the first fresh coat of Antarctic snow
I am risking my life for art here (stupid but true). Those small icebergs are known to randomly flip over as they melt from beneath, and this day there was only a thin coat of fresh snow that gripped my feet to the ground. Falling into the icy water would have meant surviving for 50 seconds and the nearest emergency helicopter was in Argentina. I thought of it as a nod to David Hammons snowball sale, updated on a global scale and according to current environmental concerns
