Leif Andersen
an abandoned whaling station in South Georgia Island
Living in the shadow of the haunting ruins of the Grytviken whaling station, Leif Andersen has embraced an isolated life enriched by routines in balance with nature. A stickler for preparedness, Leif is keenly aware of every minute change in his environment and has transformed this precise sensitivity into a form of solitary visual art. At night, he turns his anxiety about an untraceable home into expressive creativity, channeling visions of the house he's unable to find.
