The White Saboteur
Project
The White Saboteur is a persistent, immersive world in which every visitor becomes an agent of its disappearance. Their gaze alone melts icebergs that never return, leaving each subsequent visitor to inherit a landscape already transformed by those before them. As the exhibition unfolds, no two visitors ever enter the same world. A paired screen renders the fossilized remains of each encounter in real time, creating a contemplative reflection on our appetite for consuming both the planet and the technologies through which we experience it.
