Two pivotal research trips to Greenland, the first in 2012, and then 2015 to document receding glaciers, extended Neudecker’s ongoing interest in the contemporary sublime and the legacy of Romanticism. Addressing Arctic landscapes, she questions our notions of ‘idyllic’ nature and its representation (through technology), examining how our perceptions and consciousness are formed by fragmented information and knowledge. This research is brought together in key Arctic works including After Life (2016), a large multidisciplinary installation; On the Other Side (2016), a stereoscopic viewer and new tank works, Some Things Happen All at Once (2014), and Nothing Will Stay the Same (2019). This Collection comprises a multi-component output with contextualising information, evidencing these key works and their exhibitions in the items below. Contextualising information includes a 300 word statement, research timeline, and research questions. [Exhibitions of created works took place between 2014-2019]
