Northern lights are difficult to describe.
Whenever I tried to explain the phenomenon to people arround me, it always sounded very remote from the experience these lights had immersed myself.
To nourish my project, I had to plan a trip to the most northern cities of Scandinavia in order to chase the auroras again, before they would disappear with the light of spring.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The auroral zone covers latitudes 65° to 75°.
In this area, the nights are getting shorter extremely rapidly between mid-January and mid-May.
The sun never rises in the winter, and never sets in the summer. Auroras are usually visible until mid-March.

 

The end of the semester was at the end of March, I didn’t have that much time to decide...
In five days, the trip was «planned». 10 days and 10 nights in the most northern Scandinavia cities:
Tromso(69 °), Narvik(68 °), Abisko(68 °) and Kiruna(67 °).

 

To nourish the installation, I recorded sounds and took photographs along the way.

Photographs, coordinates, weather reports, paths and road taken, and accounts of my state of mind.
