Atlas residency

This project is a continuation of my research into how perception can shift beyond the human perspective. During my time aboard the Atlas, a former fishing boat converted into an artist-in-residence space, I allowed myself to be guided by non-human forms of existence: the sea, the lens formed by the boat itself, and the light of the polar day.

Guided by the light of the polar day, I worked with the camera obscura principle in a small space on the front deck, bringing the seascape inside, viewed through the "lens" of the boat. Standing within the projection, I experimented with light-sensitive photographic paper, manually controlling exposure times, and developing the images on-site. This resulted in a series of works that capture both the movement of the passing landscape and the stillness of the boat, which served as a fixed point.

In parallel, I explored sound at a micro-level using specialized recording equipment, making otherwise inaudible sounds perceptible; listening through the materials present and the boat itself. Using the metal body of the ship as an instrument. I documented the entire process on film. As the work evolves, I intend to bring the film and photographs together with the soundscape, while also offering visitors the opportunity to step inside a camera obscura space.
