Sea of Tranquillity is a combination of live video recordings of actors and digitally-generated 3D environments in which the viewer makes a night-time visit to a mysterious, mythical cruise liner: the 'Sea of Tranquillity'.
synopsis
- This fictitious cruise liner has been designed by Hans Op de Beeck, following a short residence at Saint-Nazaire in France in 2008, during which the artist became intrigued by the remarkable World War II story and post-war reconstruction of this harbour town, whose shipyards produce the world's largest cruise liners. It seemed to the artist that the Queen Mary 2, then just completed was, like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the highest building in the world), a suitable metaphor for our belief in spurious values and in such concepts as work, leisure and luxury consumerism.
