Pia Arke's (1958–2007) multimedia oeuvre explored her dual ethnicity in Greenland and Denmark, delving into themes of exploration, ethnicity, and the complexities of identity. Renowned for her film Arctic Hysteria, Arke passed away at 48, but her work has gained increasing recognition in recent years. This volume, featuring reproductions, essays, and contributions from experts, introduces her to a broader audience.
Kim Leine examines the theme of mortality in Arke's work, Darren Almond charts her depictions of Greenland's landscapes, Minik Rosing explores spirituality in relation to Greenland, Laura Smith examines "Arctic hysteria," Erik Steffensen recounts the artist's early years, Stefan Jonsson provides a biographical portrait, Erik Gant delves into the relationship between art and reality, Jessie Kleemann discusses Arke's legacy, and the exhibition's curator, Anders Kold, explores Arke's motifs of body and map.
Arke's exploration of her dual heritage was a central aspect of her artistic practice, and her work continues to resonate with audiences today. Through her innovative use of video, collage, and photography, she shed light on the complexities of identity, culture, and place, challenging traditional narratives and promoting a deeper understanding of the world.
