About the Work
This
work
is
from
Noble's
Antartica
Series.
"Noble's
substantial
body
of
work
spans
landscape,
documentary
and
installations
incorporating
both
still
and
moving
images.
She
often
works
in
series,
enabling
her
to
explore
the
medium
and
its
possibilities
in
great
depth.
Since
2001,
she
has
been
researching
and
photographing
Antarctica.
In
a
project
that
has
taken
her
to
Antarctic
centres
all
over
the
world
as
well
as
Antarctica
itself,
she
explores
the
cultural
construction
of
place
and
how
our
knowledge
of
such
places
is
shaped
through
representation
and
imagination.
Her
images
challenge
the
traditional
depiction
of
the
Antarctic
landscape
as
heroic,
picturesque
or
sublime
and
seek
to
suggest
some
of
the
current
complexities
that
that
underly
the
region's
beauty.
In
2008
she
won
a
prestigious
US
National
Science
Foundation
Artists
and
Writers
Award
to
travel
and
work
in
Antarctica
to
complete
this
project.
There
were
97
applicants
for
six
awards
and
she
was
the
only
recipient
from
outside
the
US.
