mapped projection installation & performance on the research vessel METEOR, 2018

duration: 1,5 months living with the crew, using the scientific instruments
artistic tools: discussions, performative interview with the Atlantic Ocean, performative exchange of dresses with the deep sea, collecting sound, video

"Sea Chest" in collaboration with the MARUM department from the University of Bremen. For one and a half months, during a geological research trip the crew of scientists and shipsmen opened an exchange with the maritime space. As a member of a crew I did an artistic research with the focus on the contrast between the compressed space of ship hull and the endless environment of the Atlantic Ocean. The laboratories, the library, the engine room worked as a display for a performative narration.
