Paolo Verzone — Arctic Zero

Clervaux, Cité de l’image
Maison du Tourisme et de la Culture, 11 Grand-rue, Clervaux, Luxemburg
From September 25, 2020 to September 24, 2021

For the past few years Paolo Verzone has been documenting the inhabitants of one of the world’s norther-most communities, Ny-Ålesund. This place is also a center for international Arctic research and environmental monitoring where a number of countries run their own national research stations. Close-by Longyearbyen is the administrative center of Svalbard, and a tiny Norwegian metropolis, with a mining history, that hosts 2,100 residents from almost 50 different countries.
