proletariat of the sea
“This imaginary setting is neither militant nor prophetic. It offers a change of perspective: this positioning below sea level raises questions: how can we perceive humanity as seen from the depths of the ocean? These works also play on scale: a world populated by creatures from the infinitely small to the infinitely giant? Microscopic, the diatoms and phytoplankton here become monumental, immersing us in their world. Using clay, that mixture of earth and water, to (re)bring to life this immemorial marine people takes on its full meaning here.”
