“The rhetorical form of the video series DECODING (THE WHOLE TRUTH) by Karin Ferrari, is clearly inspired by a rich vein of independent documentaries on YouTube which purport to uncover or correctly analyze the symbolic manifestations of major conspiracies in our public life. Karin Ferrari’s perilous expedition through the obscure terrain of Antarctic ‘alternative facts’ has resulted in an appropriately warped documentary. ‘DECODING The Mysteries of Antarctica (THE WHOLE TRUTH)’ premiered onboard the Akademik Sergei Vavilov scientific research vessel after it crossed into the Antarctic Circle.” Nadim Samman, Kurator Antarctic Biennale 2017
