SEAWATERCOLOURS

What remains when 40 litres of seawater evaporates? How does a stock cube look like when it is prepared from 10 litres of seawater reduced by cooking?

The otherwise invisible salt content and the dissolved organic matter manifest themselves as colourful residues in a series of soups, sea watercolour paintings and split image seascape photos.

The work entitled The Art of Cooking down the Baltic Sea is a dining table that consists of Soups du Jour and stock cubes made of reduced seawater.
The organic matter in the seawater is further investigated through a series of evaporated Salt Paintings.

A device called Water Colour Scope shows the quality and the colour of water as a split image seascape.
