Ice Breath
Between 2015 and 2024, Leonard Alecu filmed the melting glaciers off the east coast of Greenland. This film captures the shifting drama of the ice that a still image could not fully convey. The film's hypnotic quality is heightened by the soundtrack Become Ocean (2015 Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition), a haunting piece by John Luther Adams that evokes the melting of polar glaciers and the elevation of sea levels. Beyond an ecological report on climate, it is a black-and-white visual meditation on solitude, and our place in an ephemeral world.
