North

How does “the North” change as one travels further north? This mosaic documentary follows a journey from the Middle East to the northernmost point on Earth. Along this trajectory, the audio work explores how meanings shift and dissolve across borders. In the process, “the North” emerges as more than a geographic direction or physical place.
