Exhibition "OCEAN"

Dreams and nightmares, longing and anxiety, beauty and horror: OCEAN is the big Louisiana event of the season. A journey of discovery above and below the surface, where history and the present meet in an intersection between art and science.

We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the oceans that cover more than 70% of our own planet. But the more we dive below the surface, the more incredible things seem to emerge. And in the realm of our imagination, we are literally flooded with images, stories and fantastic creatures.

GEOMAR contributed images of organisms to the exhibition that were taken during the SO268 expedition to study deep-sea ecosystems as part of the European ‘MiningImpact’ project.

This exhibition is endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development as a Decade Activity.
