This exhibition offers an immersive journey through the ocean depths, underwater biodiversity and the remote landscapes of Antarctica, to imagine new forms of existence in a world ravaged by the climate crisis and technological acceleration. How can we adapt to a changing environment? What can we learn from the organisation and co-operation of marine species? Océano Interior [The Ocean Within] seeks answers at the bottom of the ocean and in our own inner worlds. Through an archipelago of works, the exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in mysterious habitats and abyssal geographies, from coral reefs, giant kelp forests and ecosystems that provide refuge for life, to deep waters that safeguard the memory of planetary consciousness. The ocean is presented as a living archive, as an ancient technology in which we first saw our reflection, where the first metamorphoses occurred and where future transformations will unfold. The exhibition offers a meditation on the interdependence among bodies, ecosystems and technologies, the outside and the inside of all forms of life.
