Chris Dobrowolski

Antarctica is the driest, windiest, most inhospitable place on Earth. A place synonymous with failed expedition attempts, with no artists for miles around. A place that Chris Dobrowolski decided was perfect for him.

For three and a half months Chris lived and worked at the British Antarctic Survey, trying to experiment creatively whilst (crucially) trying to survive. He discovered that sometimes it’s very difficult to work out what’s real in a land where you simply can’t believe your eyes.

Antarctica is an adventure story-PowerPoint-presentation about professional failure and real life via tales of overzealous seals, Ladybird books and a sledge built out of gold picture frames.
