(Couleur Banquise)

White is a fiction.

The fiction of a land viewed from afar. The fiction of a space imagined as empty, silent, and available.

Today, as the ice melts, Greenland is taking on new promises. Maps are being redrawn. Roads are opening up. Desires are shifting northward. Beneath the whiteness, economic and geopolitical interests are emerging in turn.

But in reality, color is everywhere. It acts as a counter-narrative. It reminds us that this territory is neither an abstraction nor a reservoir of resources, but a space that is lived in, inhabited, and named.

By focusing on the colors of the Arctic, this project invites us to look at what lies outside the frame—what the Western gaze has long obscured beneath a single layer of white. It is an attempt to unravel an image to reveal the complexity it contains.
