Artwork description

Within this artistic enactment, the concept of 'worldmaking' serves as a guiding framework, fostering the creation of a plethora of imaginative scenarios that embrace a diversity of perspectives. Rooted in the ethos of embracing ambiguity, discomfort, and the spaces where knowledge remains elusive, the project challenges conventional notions.

Object description

If the visitors all are down there, then the whales may know and be peaceful good neighbors with them. Maybe, like Charamaynne studies dolphin language, all the visitors start trying to communicate with whales, dolphins and other animal intelligences. 

"If you decide to let me in on your secret existence with a visit, please call ahead of time so I can brace myself for the honor of coffee, tea or so." says Charamaynne.

About the artist

In my artistic practice, the boundaries between action and reflection blur, giving rise to a space where insights aren't necessarily derived from definite analyses, conclusions, or outcomes. Instead, they unfold from realms of uncertainty, the unfathomable, and the unattainable.

Ultimately, my goal is to question the dynamics of change and explore how new things emerge.
