Synopsis

Resilience was filmed at Iceland’s largest hydroelectric dam, Kárahnjúkar. Its construction involved flooding Europe’s second largest wilderness area, destroying a unique ecosystem in order to provide cheap energy for foreign aluminum companies. The work experiments with the viewers’ sudden changes in heart rate and their ability to cope with change and sustain shocks while maintaining their integrity in the face of external forces.
