A solitary monument in the far north, older than the ice that surrounds it.
Why we chose it
At first glance, the subject is a building or ruin; what stays is the sense of time in the masonry. We curated it because it gives a room structure and atmosphere without looking like a generic travel print.
About the work
Catalogue Entry The Polar Archway rises from an otherwise featureless ice field, its surviving span large enough to reduce the accompanying survey party to near invisibility. Erosion along the exposed masonry indicates an age inconsistent with the present glacial formation, suggesting that the structure predates the surrounding ice by a considerable margin. No adjoining road, settlement or foundation has been recorded. The monument appears to have been built in isolation, although the purpose of an entrance without walls remains unresolved. Registrar's Notes Despite its scale, the Archway appears on no recognised chart of the polar regions. Print Specification Museum-quality giclée print produced with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm.
A3 (29.7 × 42 cm / 11.7 × 16.5 in). This is an original Museum of Imagined Worlds plate, created for our imagined archive of images that sit between record and invention.
