Photographer and filmmaker Louie Palu has been making work about the Arctic since 1993. His latest body of work Distant Early Warning provides a window into the state of the militarization in the Arctic, documenting the legacies of the Cold War. The changes in the region are exacerbated by the many unknowns the Arctic faces, among them the warming of the planet. What began as a Guggenheim Fellowship evolved into an assignment for National Geographic Magazine, multiple art installations, and more. Taken as a whole, the series examines the growing geopolitical tensions and changing life around Inuit communities in one of the planet's harshest climates.
