A circumpolar navigation between reality and illusion, the lived and the imaginary, becomes a strange odyssey in the wonderful world of mirages, in search of something beyond boundaries, horizons, infinity. This mythic journey reorients satellite imagery, radar telemetry and cartography into geographical incoherence and disruptions of the machinery. Here the perception of reality gives way to pure illusion.
