Time Capsule is an experimental project by Laure Winants, exploring the Arctic through light, sound, and matter. Field experiments—such as recording iceberg acoustics, analyzing water chemistry, and capturing light compositions—transform scientific data into anticipative narratives.
Central to the project is a series of photograms layered with ice cut-outs collected on site. Under polarized light, the ice reveals crystal structures while concealing ancient elements, echoing the hidden histories of the polar landscape. Time Capsule invites us to perceive a fragile world through the lens of nature itself, where ice and light become both record and revelation.Slime molds—neither plant nor fungus—exist between forms, shifting, branching, and multiplying. Most are no larger than a pinhead, yet under Webb’s lens, they appear as delicate, alien architectures: fleeting expressions of organic intelligence. His work captures the subtle beauty of growth and decay, inviting us to look more closely at the quiet interconnections between soil and spore, life and decomposition, observer and organism.
