Trigger #7 — Oceans / Oceanographies Collective (ed.)

Ocean explores what happens when we move beyond the ocean as a clear blue image and start thinking with it: as a living ‘engine’, a history, a force. What can photography do with what is submerged, obscured, moving, microscopic or beyond the frame?
Bringing together photography, art, writing and marine research, the book moves through underwater vision, marine life, migration, maritime memory, colonial histories, climate change, fisheries and subsea infrastructures. It is less interested in the ocean as an image than in what the ocean ‘does’ to images, practices and the gaze.
