In 2013 Høegh's art installation Iluliaq, a monumental sculpture of an iceberg, was installed in the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, as part of the exhibition Sakahàn: International Indigenous Art.[12][13] The work provided a commentary on climate change, as it appeared gradually to "melt" as the windows of the Great Hall were replaced over the duration of the installation.[14] His artwork has been featured in exhibitions in countries including Greenland, Denmark, France, Iceland, Finland, Latvia and Germany, and his film work has been shown internationally.[14]
