Antarctica: An Absent Presence
Philip Samartzis
Thames & Hudson | 1 December 2016
Take a journey into Antarctica with sound artist Philip Samartzis. In this publication he presents an illuminating account of the stunningly beautiful, yet harsh and dramatic conditions of the Polar Regions, the remarkable lands of ice, snow and mountains of the world’s most southern continent. Through a collection of soundscape recordings, photographs, and detailed narrative collated over several years following voyages taken with the Australian Arctic Division, Samartzis reflects on the extremes of the environment, its weather conditions and habitations. The inclusion of two audio DVD’s with this book creates an engaging sensuous experience.
