Anouk Kruithof, Ice Cry Baby

Anouk Kruithof

A compilation of found Youtube videos of melting ice and collapsing glaciers confronts the viewer with an ongoing catastrophe.

With her apocalyptic installation, Kruithof emphasizes how a disastrous reality is aestheticized and often shared unthinkingly. A compilation of found Youtube videos of melting ice and collapsing glaciers confronts the viewer with an ongoing catastrophe. At the same time, excessive image consumption may eect oversaturation and eventual indierence; the original clips appear to have been posted mainly for the spectacle. The artist critically queries today’s culture of the spectacle and our digitally mediated relationship to the environment. In the work of Kruithof, the crashing ice comes to symbolise the imbalance between man and nature – and collective moral degradation.
