A story in visual and narrative fragments

Hurt of the Antarctic as a make-believe museum installation

When I first started this project more than 20 years ago, few people had ever heard of the legendary Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. After reading Captain Frank Arthur Worsley’s account of Shackleton’s ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1916, I became captivated by stories of polar exploration. My story and exhibit combine historical fiction with pure fantasy.
