Draget mod Dybet

Debatskabende udstilling og koncertprogram om havets forunderlige verden

På Strandingsmuseum St. George i 2024

Mit udstillingsprojekt dykker dybt ind i havets mysterier og præsenterer en fusion af det organiske og det mekaniske. Jeg udforsker det fascinerende samspil mellem kunst og teknologi gennem en række interaktive bronze skulpturer, som jeg kalder “Dybhavsfund”. Disse skulpturer, der er inspireret af det organiske liv i havets dybder, forener den naturlige verden med menneskeskabt teknologi.
Hvert “Dybhavsfund” er et unikt dybhavsvæsen, der kombinerer kunstnerisk skabelse med mekanik og robotik. Beskuerne inviteres til at interagere med disse skulpturer, der reagerer med bevægelse og lys på deres tilstedeværelse.
