I was in the right place at the right time and just lucked out with this shot. After I got the wide shots of the work and the crowd, I came back to try to get some shots of just the work on its own, and this person walked in just before me and started interacting with it. Perfect timing.

From the web description for the exhibition: This Is The Tip Of The Iceberg emerges from SUPERFLEX’s in-depth research into the deep sea, biodiversity, and the climate. The exhibition immerses viewers in two parallel and interconnected realms, separated by a curtain which acts as an imaginary filter between land and sea. Passing through the curtain brings visitors from a terrestrial space unsettled by rising water to the ocean’s dark depths, to meet one of the most important cleaners of the ocean, the siphonophore. Relatives of the jellyfish, siphonophores bring between two and six billion tons of carbon a year from the surface down to the seabed, where it is stored. This Is The Tip Of The Iceberg offers an opportunity to encounter this unfamiliar species, prompting reflection on the impacts and consequences of climate change, especially relevant to Florida and its coastal communities, and encouraging humans to imagine a future defined by interspecies living and ecological coexistence.

This shot really satisfied me because it was quite dark in there and yet the Sony still locked on and caught focus and I was able to bring everything up in raw to where even the crowd was visible. Probably my favorite shot of the set. it gives a good idea of the scale of the piece.

The oldest vessel (double-ended car ferry) currently operating the Gozo Channel Line service. The shape will be familiar to many, she was once 'Superflex Alfa' and later 'Difko Nyborg', one of the controversial Superflex ferries built in Sunderland. Now owned in Greece and has been on charter for 4 years.

Despite huge early difficulties with these ferries, this one has lasted 36 years and now puts in a steady shift on the Gozo Channel.

She does show her age a bit though, when contrasted with the more modern tonnage.

I saw this huge sign exhibited as a work of contemporary art at the National Gallery of Denmark in 2018. Apparently it was a ‘social campaign’ work of art in 2002 led by the artists who created it, SUPERFLEX, a Danish artist group. At the time, posters of different sizes bearing the same message were posted in Denmark, Sweden, and Austria where SUPERFLEX’s work was being exhibited. It was meant to stir debate on immigration attitudes in Denmark and prejudices against foreigners, an issue that ist still relevant today. Signs similar to this ones have also been exhibited in several museums across the world since 2002.
