'Program for a cold place' took place in February 2000. People who never met participated in this temporary experience. The purpose was to film in the open air a domestic phenomenon: the explosion in low temperature conditions of containers filled with a liquid. The team went out from Winnipeg to install a laboratory up in the Canadian North, in minus 30°C weather. The project in itself (the staging of cold explosions) had little chance of success, yet the conditions under which it exists had been carefully worked for months.
