Multimedia installation commissioned by Selfridges London, for the Ultra Lounge Gallery.

 

The boat provides a vessel, a life support machine, apparatus containing and enabling life on the open ocean, one of the most challenging environments upon which to sustain human life on the planet.  The Whale explores this device, transporting the individual away from the gallery in the centre of London’s busiest shopping district, away, offshore tracing the journey of the research yacht 'Sea Dragon' as she transits these vast oceanic deserts.

 

Commissioned as part of Selfridges ‘Project Ocean’ 2015, curated by Jane Withers Studio
