Summary:

In Prospecting Ocean, Stefanie Hessler investigates the entanglement of industry, politics, culture and economics at the frontier of ocean extractivism. The result is a richly illustrated study that unites science and art to examine the ecological, cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic reverberations of current threats to the oceans. The book expands and deepens the research conducted for Amin Linke's exhibition "Prospecting Ocean" and highlights ocean spaces in the work of other artists. Integrating the work of artists with scientific, theoretical, and philosophical analysis, Prospecting Ocean demonstrates that visual culture offers new and urgent perspectives on ecological crisis"--Jacket
