This work was developed in Iceland and is filmed from within a crevasse of the continental divide between America and Europe. The character in the video is seen exploring the dark and narrow space between two frozen walls of rock. Set in a place which is as geographically powerful as it is politically significant, the work engages with the complex relationship between Europe (and the UK) and America and questions the individual's role in the face of such powers.
