“Glacial Optics,” SITE Santa Fe Solo Exhibition
SITE SANTA FE presents Glacial Optics, a solo exhibition by Tristan Duke.
In 2022 the artist sailed to the Arctic to capture portraits of the glaciers, using a camera lens made from their very own ice. Subsequently, Duke has continued to explore the “gaze of the glacier” in an ongoing series of expeditionary, performative, photographic, and research-based work. This exhibition shares works from Duke's Glacial Optics series, positing the glacier as a literal and metaphorical lens through which to understand our current precarious times.
