H A V by Elin Tanding Sørensen

HAV evokes the spatiality of the undersea landscape together with the colours and lifeforms within this hidden, fluid realm. HAV has many co-creators: barnacles and marine biologists, porcelain, sugar kelp, saltwater, ceramicists, crabs, clay, annelids and many more. HAV was orchestrated by artist and landscape architect Elin T. Sørensen as part of her doctoral project “Multispecies Neighborhoods in Urban Sea Areas,” the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, NMBU. Curated by Annike Flo and staged at the Norwegian BioArt Arena NOBA Vitenparken Campus Ås 2020. Image: Barnacle (Semibalanus balanoides).

Zostera Neighbourhood

The eelgrass meadows are the Ocean's rainforests.

A myriad of marine organisms lives on different floors

within the eelgrass community. In this particular neighbour-

hood some people have sneaked in: who does what between

the eelgrass high-rise buildings? The three scooters on

the floor are picked up from the Oslofjord. Tube-building

annelids and red algae have already settled, but they do deserve something better to grow on.

Dried field samples of eelgrass (Zostera marina) with tunicate (Ciona)

and Moss animals (Bryozoa). Felt-tip-pen drawings by William Olsson-Tanding and Elin T. Sørensen. Pressed flower craft on Hanemüller paper

in oak frame with Artglass 85.5 x 114 cm. 2020. Scooters picked up from
