The Arts
Iceberg Nations
by Rubén Martín de Lucas
Description
It all began with a simple stroke on a notebook: Rubén Martín de Lucas drew a flag nailed to a piece of ice. It ended, months later, with three men in the Arctic. Accompanied by the expeditionary Hilo Moreno and the film director Fernando Martín Borlán, and with the purpose of questioning something as deep-rooted as the concept of nation, Rubén Martín de Lucas travels to the south of Greenland. Once there they board a series of icebergs, condemned to die from the very moment of their colonization. They place a flag on them and claim these ice rocks as a nation of their own.
Iceberg Nations is the first book by Rubén Martín de Lucas. His texts and images invite us to reflect on the ideas of border, nation and nationalism. It is part of a wider artistic project resulting from these actions (which includes photographs, a video installation and a short documentary).
