ICEHOTEL #21
The dropping of the temperature to several degrees below zero in JukkasjÀrvi, Sweden marks the start of an ephemeral art endeavour. Using only frozen water from the Torne River, artists from all over the world gather in this small Swedish village, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, to create an exclusive art exhibition.
The art is created with imagination and hard work, only to melt away under the unforgiving rays of the sun come springtime.Â
All that remains are our impressions, our memories - and photographs.
