Seas´ Blue Yonder
kr.5,990.00
Seas’ Blue Yonder is a beautifully curated and thoughtfully crafted book that makes an important contribution to literature on whales, science, and culture. Blending art and research, it offers a multifaceted perspective on the evolving relationship between humans and whales.
Who are the whales that visit the Icelandic seas each summer?
How has human respect for whales been manifest – historically, and to the present day?
Such questions have intrigued artists Bryndis Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson, whose work explores the intricate and environmentally telling relationships between humans and other animals.
This book documents their most recent project, Seas' Blue Yonder, in which the duo embarked on a journey tracking individual whales physically, acoustically and culturally, in relation to ever-shifting, environmentally inflected human values.
Here they have drawn together curators and scientists, who write from their unique perspectives in respect of whales and the Seas' Blue Yonder project.
