Representation means on the one hand political and legal representation, but also the way something or someone is depicted. Therefore working on more than human representation is always a multi disciplinary endeavor with a strong aesthetical dimension.
Whose Ocean?
Embassy of North Sea
The Embassy of the North Sea was founded in The Hague on the first of June 2018, by the Parliament of Things. The Embassy of the North Sea departs from the idea that the North Sea belongs to itself. The Embassy researches how non- humans, from phytoplankton to ship wrecks to cod fish, can become full-fledged members of our society. The Embassy of the North Sea works towards 2030, when we (humans) hope to emotionally, juridically and politically relate ourselves to the sea in a fundamentally different way.
