“Great Albatross, I found you dead by the sea among the rocks. The image of your miserable demise has haunted me.” (2024)
How has our perception, our view of the sea, changed due to our awareness of its endangerment and exploitation? Does the memory of the magic of cosmic energies and forces remain? The starting point for this work are analog photographs of a sea surface, taken in 2015; preserved as small prints on paper in the archive. Retrieved again in 2024 and photographed. Overlays have emerged, both temporally and visually. No further documentation of plastic and garbage, not a dead bird. No boats can be seen, no longlines, no oil slick…

*) The Snowy albatross is one of the largest birds in the world, with a wingspan of up to 3.50 meters. Some species are threatened or critically endangered. According to bird conservationist Barry Weeber, several hundred thousand albatrosses die every year worldwide as victims of longline fishing and plastic debris in the sea.
