- On thin ice / Ciril Jazbec

"On Thin Ice is about the changing lives of the Inuits who live in Greenland, the world’s largest island that is covered by the world’s biggest and fastest melting ice sheet. It is a story about the people who possess thousands years old knowing of hunting and now are looking for ways to survive in the ecosystem that is in a collapse. The project is a photographic series with the story angle that is centered on the element of ice and perspective of the Inuits with a sharp message about the urgency of the issue for humanity.
Greenland, the planet’s biggest island is melting for the first time on its entire surface. Large lakes form, creating a web of thousands of rivers that are slowly filling up the ocean. Just as worrisome as the increasing sea levels, is the darkening of the surface, which will gradually turn Greenland from a cooler to a self-heater, which could together with the melting of permafrost set a fatal rate to the speed of global warming. With this project, I focus on Greenland, which I believe shines a light on the story that is most urgent in the context of the Arctic polar circle and global warming".

- Cinema on ice / Ciril Jazbec

"In a visual sense, it was one of the craziest things I’d ever experienced. A community watching Inuk screened on an iceberg under the stars in Northern Greenland. While I was taking photos, I already knew it was a very special moment.
Cinema on Ice happened one night when me and a couple of friends and locals went to a special event on the ice. We’d decided offhand to do something special for the village children: late in the evening, we projected the movie Inuk onto an iceberg under the myriad stars and the northern lights. The looks on the spectators’ faces fascinated me, so instead of watching the movie, I began using a tripod and long exposure times to discreetly take their photos"
