An interactive installation based on the myth of lemming suicide and other arctic tradgedies. The installation included a looped projection of lemmings hurling themselves over a cliff edge from "White Wilderness" the Disney documentary chiefly responsible for perpetuating this myth (the lemmings were in fact fired into the abyss on a lazy susan by the film crew). The artifice and disney(land) aesthetic is echoed throughout the installation in the form of an icicle covered cliff, a large boulder with colourful protrodent buttons and hollywood-ized arctic explorer trapped beneath the ice.
