Vertigo Sea explores the beauty of nature and the destruction wrought by humans to the environment and to ourselves. Dizzying in scope and presentation, the three-screen film explores a broad sweep of human history. The whaling industry, the current refugee crisis and the transatlantic slave trade are major themes. Peppered throughout the film is the personal narrative of Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797), a former slave and abolitionist. These images are stills from a film or video artwork. Artist films are often created with specific experiences or physical spaces in mind. As a result, and for additional copyright reasons, we’re currently unable to show the full work as it was intended online.
