Only Barely Still - Catherine Lemblé

Only Barely Still – On Women and Wilderness is a long-term analogue photography project by Catherine Lemblé (BE) that reimagines the Arctic, and in particular the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, through the lives of the women who inhabit it. Inspired by Sarah, a former polar bear guard and now expedition leader, Lemblé set out to counter dominant Western narratives that have long framed the polar regions as a masculine frontier.
