Crassostrea/Ostrea - 2017
|
Just as the 21th century had manifested as a reality for the people of the world; There’s a significant number of alarms called in to the marine biology institutes of Sweden.
In the archipelago of Sweden’s northern west coast both the local marine biologist conducting standard surveying, and the general populace discover a new species in Skagerrak. And as it turned out, it was there to stay. The work consists of a video and biological archival samples of the native and invasive oyster in Skagerrak. The video has a voice over narrative relating my family’s experience with the discovery of the new oyster. I’m thus returning to my memory of the discovery of the Crassostrea Gigas in Skagerrak in order to get to the core of how this has developed a forced restructure of the ecosystem over the past 10 years. |
