Contemporary artist highlights the fight against deep sea mining in an immersive installation.
Through film, choreography and sound, Emma Critchley’s exhibition Soundings explores the urgent issue of deep-sea mining – an overlooked but critical environmental issue.
Soundings features a striking multi-screen film installation that weaves together perspectives from Pacific activists, legal scholars and marine scientists, offering a counterpoint to commercial pressures to exploit the deep seabed which plays a vital role in regulating the earth’s climate
Performances from dancer Maya Carroll and choreographer Siobhan Davies will activate the installation through responding to deep-sea creatures on screen.
