Julian Charriere - Midnight Zone

From the pitch-black depths of the Pacific Ocean to vast underwater glacier landscapes, this catalogue presents Julian Charriere's fascinating exploration of the mysterious world of water. Julian Charriere's practice revolves around the complex relationship between civilisation and nature. He works with performance, sculpture, and photography, often on the basis of geophysical research, combining artistic aesthetics, science, critical discourse, and activism. This publication gathers a diverse chorus of voices - scientists, scholars, and cultural thinkers – who together navigate the cultural, ecological, and symbolic dimensions of water - the deep time of oceans as well as their entanglement with human futures. Edited by Andreas Beitin, Roland Wetzel, with text by Stacy Alaimo, Geraldine Kirrihi Barlow, Andreas Beitin, Patricia Bondesson Kavanagh.
