Antipodia

2016 – ongoing

Antipodia is a conceptual, work in progress project that marks a place that actually exists, but that does not bear a name, nor does it conform to the common notion of a place with solid ground, and that lies in the future. This is Europe´s antipodic site which is located in the Pacific, about 1300 km east of New Zealand in international waters and whose depth is about 5342 m (seabed - water surface).

Starting point for this location search were the current (world) political climate, which is increasingly dominated by national, geopolitical thinking, as well as the questioning of various cultural historical parameters and techniques of world surveying.

Antipodia wants to open an artistic, philosophical discourse, which celebrates precisely the atopy, the ground- & boundlessness, the fluid and its statelessness, as well as the fact that Antipodia lies in the future.
