In 1931, the famous Inuit novelist Augo Lynge imagines Greenland in 2021 as a land of cocoon inserted in a happy globalization and in symbiosis with the former Danish colonizer. In 2021, on the occasion of the tercentenary of this colonization, a father (photographer) and his son (writer) put their steps in his own to confront the Greenlandic society of today. What happened to his dream?

The photographer Olivier Laban-Mattei chose black & white to recreate the universe of light and shadow of an Arctic territory disrupted by climate change. In Greenland, the snow turns black when it comes into contact with pollution. But this blackness is also that of the enigmatic and tormented souls whose path he has crossed.

The writer Lisandru Laban-Giuliani has chosen the novel of anticipation to explore the future under tension of a country at the crossroads, as its inhabitants describe it, fear it and desire it. From the testimonies and stories collected on the spot, he weaves a narrative as intimate as it is gripping of the possible futures of the island. 

These two singular views interact to allow us to understand in depth why and how Greenland alone condenses all the current global issues.
