how to skin a polar bear
Rönkkö Nastja Säde
In How to Skin a Polar Bear, the poetic voice-over gives instructions for dissecting a polar bear, one of the most endangered species on our planet. The imagery consists of Arctic glaciers and their melting waters. The action and affects emerge from Rönkkö’s poetry which helps to verbalize the dystopian mentality of the climate crisis and the mass extinction.
