Warm Offering of Cold
Performance
Year: 2025
CYFEST 17
MOMus Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki, Greece)
For the performance, Jaanika Peerna used a sculpted piece of ice as the central element of the choreography. Channeling a deeply felt engagement with the climate crisis, particularly the loss of glaciers, Peerna employs ice as a totemic representation of strength, beauty, and environmental fragility in her performances, as well as a medium of erasure, flow, and transformation. The participatory performance is held in dialogue with her installation Cold Love.
