The animated film depicts a female arctic fox’s epic journey from Norway to Canada in 2018. In her inter-continental journey, she covered 3507 km in seventy-six days, across vast and changing landscapes, transitioning from marine ecosystems to land-based prey. Her voyage highlights the understanding and adaptability of wildlife across diverse environments, providing exploration of survival and migration in the natural world.
Rojda Tu?rul is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work focuses on identity in relation to space and time. Her early work examined the impact of war on ecological and cultural heritage within the socio-political framework of Kurdish territories, leading to her interest in analysing consciousness and cognition, both in human societies and the ecological world. Rojda examines sociopolitical landscapes as reflections of changes in cultural and ecological identity. Rojda holds an MSc in Veterinary Studies and a PhD in Practice from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
