Tall Stories: The Unknown

'What can you find under the sea?' An unknown environment that one is not familiar with. In a group of 3s, we created the image of what can be found underneath the sea by closely relate it with a specific quote taken from the movie 'Le Grand Bleu'

Quote:
"You go down to the bottom of the sea where the water isn't even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide, that you'll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come, and they greet you"

Series of pictures below shows the testing process

The process of making in the studio

A collection of sea creatures


3 series of photographs (each series 1½ meter long) was produced to represent the idea of the unknown. by closely relating to the quote, we came to a conclusion that as one sinks down into the sea, one would like to stay down because of the creatures that greets you underneath. Instead of the mysterious-frightening sea monsters, they were represented very beautifully as we discovered 'bioluminescence' fish - fish that gives off lights in the dark for living.
