Liquid ground

Liquid ground is an installation that takes the ocean floor and its cartography as its axis to talk about colonialism, ecology and representation.

Although the oceans make up 70% of the Earth, so far only a very small part of the seabed has been mapped. However, in recent years, the interest in mapping these spaces has accelerated due to different economic, geopolitical and scientific interests, which are determined to build a “new continent” to be exploited under the sea.

Liquid ground is an interdisciplinary project that researchs on our relationship with the planet’s largest surface, the oceans.

The artist proposes a central video-essay piece, 8 light boxes and a brochure as a tourist map.

The project is produced through a four-week residency at LABoral’s Centro de Producción.

Liquid ground is the winning project of the VIII DKV Seguros-Álvarez Margaride Production Grant.
