The deep sea, its barely explored biodiversity and its persistent mystification as „untouched“ nature –
seemingly free of any human presence in its infinite darkness – are associative starting points for
Carolin Seeliger’s Deep Sea series of works.
In an intuitive, almost alchemical process, Seeliger works with sand samples from a marine research institute
and products from the beauty industry. Emulsions and gel-like substances are spread on a glass plate –
ephemeral, organic forms that are captured photographically in the moment before they dissolve.
