Ursula Biemann: Acoustic Ocean

Ursula Biemann (1955, Zurich) presents her film “Acoustic Ocean” at Centre Culturelle Suisse, Paris, running February 23 – April 12, 2020. In this project, the artist displays an expedition into the depths of the Antarctic Ocean to the discovery of interspecies communication. In this semi-fictional narration, the aquanaut – played by singer and social activist Samis Sofia Jannok – attempts to receive and interpret the sounds of the animals and micro creatures. In this film, Ursula Biemann also highlights the memory of this life immersed in the water and the perspective of an uncertain climate future.
