Mark Mahaneys Polar Night is a passage through a rapidly changing landscape in Alaskas northernmost town of Utqiagvik. Its an exploration of prolonged darkness, told through the strange beauty of a snowscape cast in a two month shadow. The unnatural lights that flare in the suns absence and the shapes that emerge from the landscape are unexpectedly beautiful in their softness and harshness. Its hard to see past the heavy gaze of climate change in an arctic town, though Polar Night is a visual poem about endurance, isolation and survival.
