The Borealis Winter Festival, Alta, Norway
By icecircle
‘The Stallo and the Silver Moon’ was a stage design by Laila Kolostyák at the Borealis Winter Festival, Alta, Norway in 2015. Snow and ice is one of of Laila Kolostyák’s main material of expression, a material suited for working in large format in public areas- and engaging the local community. Laila has been cooperating with local people for many years, involving schools, artists and the municipality in creating large snow and ice installations to transform the city center. She works closely with Mari Bottolfsen and other teachers at the local college to work with more than four hundred teenagers and professional artists every year, working together and increasing a sense of community. The installations have become a focal point in the town centre and have contributed to the identity of Alta as a winter destination.

Wenjing Chen is a Master program student in Landscape and territory study, Arkitektur-og designhøgskolen i Oslo.
When ground all covered by snow, there will be no border on land, so the ski track in middle of Tromsø island could extend to downtown by cross possible place, cross road with temporary bridge, cross steep area with walking stairs, cross cemetery and even cross people’s backyard, which only could happen in winter. But all these possibilities need proper infrastructure to support.
