Ice On Fire - Fabio Spink, Orest Yaremchuk, Robert Bettinger (Social Design)
Ice On Fire is part of the semester project "Auf der Jagd nach Schnee" (University of Applied Arts Vienna/ Social Design).
Ice On Fire represents two antagonistic forces in nature that are both associated with the devastating effects of global warming. Placing a snow cube on top of a woodpile that is lit on fire, the installation is concerned with the destructive power and fragility of these two opposing elements. Wood and ice also represent the changing economic value of two important local resources in Flachau, formerly the site of a large sawmill and currently a hub for winter sports.
