melt morphemes (supraglacial)
Pablo diserens
2025, iceland, audio, 6 min, no dialogue
What happens if we shift our perspective and sense of scale to embody that of a glacier? melt morphemes (supraglacial) invites listeners into the sonic intimacy of Sólheimajökull. This Icelandic glacier is believed to be losing 60 meters a year to rising temperatures, dissolving thousands of years of freeze in a second of melt. As the ice thaws in water-filled crevasses, it releases strings of bubbling air trapped within the ice for centuries, producing bursts of bizarre, visceral, and animalistic sounds. These underwater recordings bring our ears into the minutiae of the glacier, emphasising the glacier as a body with whom we share bodily processes and planetary agency.
