Video produced by the Bemis Center while Alice Miceli was an artist in residence in their program, developing the conceptual frame and preparatory work to start "In Depth (minefields)".

In her work in Chernobyl, the nature of the visual and its borders were explored to show how radiation escapes visibility while defining that environment. If a place does not reveal itself in the visual, the question then was how to look. By what means? The poetic as well as the physical operation of that work needed to reside in the capturing of the image, in the impression of a physical impact created by the means of radiation itself, which revealed a pervasive but hidden reality.

Continuing this theme of places that are impenetrable and inaccessible, Alice worked in minefields across the globe. Unlike the visual impenetrability of Chernobyl, the inaccessibility of such spaces is related to the depth of the actual space that is to be traversed and depicted in the image.

This video highlights the start of her research and the connections, as well as differences, to her work in Chernobyl.
