A book on Greenlandic society during the Covid pandemic and on the effects and aftermath of such an event in a place like Greenland. The images are not classically documentary, nor are they all from Greenland: they are arbitrary glimpses of emotion and atmosphere, suffused with an intimacy and melancholy that seem tied to the spiritual. While making the book, Storch's fascination with occultism and with the link between the physical and spiritual worlds grew, hence the title. The pictures also come out of the post-apocalyptic context of a global pandemic, its overwhelming personal consequences and the feeling of being alone in the world. A poetic vein invites readers to share Storch's restlessness or to build narratives of their own, in a world of mysticism, relationships, isolation, longing, love and complexity, seen through Greenlandic eyes.
