In Adrift, the rhythmic passing of time is experienced through a ship’s porthole. Filmed during the artist’s 16-day voyage around the Arctic Circle, the video, whose audio component contains transmissions of the rattle and vibration of the ship’s engine coalesced with the lapping of ocean waves, creates an intimate yet distant encounter with this most northerly circle of the Earth’s latitude.
