Antarctic Village<br />
The artist duo Lucy and Jorge Orta have been working for many years<br />
with sculpture and photography, as well as interventions in public<br />
spaces. Antarctica is characterized by its natural, well-preserved<br />
landscape and its political neutrality - thanks to the Antarctic Treaty,<br />
which came into force in 1961 to regulate international relations for<br />
the protection of the Antarctic environment. For Lucy and Jorge Orta,<br />
Antarctica is a utopia for which they have made several pieces such<br />
as tents, passports and a passport office. They have created an imaginary<br />
community from all over the world, without national borders.<br />
To become a citizen of Antarctica, one must support social progress,<br />
protect the environment and human dignity, and fight for freedom,<br />
justice and peace.
