Quality Time

Expert-led tour 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 offers a visual mediation on a landscape that is both pristine and in 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 which appear as green presences. These elements take on spiritual dimensions, with the artis describing the green colour as “insinuating itself into the landscape like a green serpent.”
