A Unique Collaboration of Electronic Music and Indigenous Arctic Voices
Two showings nightly
Show 1 Doors: 6pm
Show 2 Doors: 8pm
TAKKUUK is a new immersive installation from BICEP, visual artist Zak Norman, and filmmaker Charlie Miller that explores the lives, communities, and challenges facing artists Indigenous to the Arctic Region. Presented as a four-channel immersive installation, the work envelops the audience in a panoramic 2.55:1 cinematic experience across four screens. The installation is driven by a soundtrack that blends BICEP's electronic composition with the contributions of Indigenous vocalists, including Katarina Barruk, Andachan, Sebastian Enequist, Tarrak, NUIJA, Niilas, and Silla. Recorded in 2024 by Detroit-based producer Matthew Dear during the Iceland Airwaves festival, the music serves as a vessel for sharing stories of Indigenous life, culture, and the pressing reality of climate change in the Arctic.
About the Film & Soundtrack
The film and its soundtrack forms part of EarthSonic, a global arts project produced by In Place of War which uses music to help share the story of climate change, indigenous perspectives & culture and interspecies collaboration. The audio element of the piece centers around several indigenous musicians from both the Inuit and Sámi communities. Music they have composed specifically for this project has been augmented into a complete score by the British electronic act BICEP. This music, and the stories connected with it, form the spine of the piece. The visual composition weaves elements of documentary realism, music video aesthetics, and artistic abstraction. Indigenous scholars, artists, elders, and teenagers bring their unique stories and perspectives, sharing narratives about the impact of colonialism and industrialization on their culture. These stories are woven together with the soundtrack and environmental footage. Custom- modified cameras capture infrared Arctic landscapes in surreal, alien hues, illustrating an unrecognizable world in flux.
