Curator-led tour

Curator-led tour by Pari Stave of the exhibition The Green Land by Inuk Silis Høegh. The artwork from 2021 is a 34-minute film installation with sound by the Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard. Born in Qaqortoq, southern Greenland, in 1972, Inuk Silis Høegh is a film director and conceptual artist whose work often blends both disciplines. Set in and around Nuuk and Mantisoq, The Green Land is a visual mediation on a landscape that is both pristine and in a state of flux due to human intervention and climate change. Shown in a continuous video loop, the work centres on four elements: fire, earth, water, and air – introduced into the landscape in temporary (and non-toxic) land art interventions that appear as green presences. These elements take on spiritual dimensions, in what the artist has described as “the green colour insinuating itself into the landscape like a green serpent.”
