Marine Snow, a one-hour video installation, immerses viewers in footage from twenty day and night dives in the Atlantic conducted aboard the research vessel Celtic Explorer on its journey from Cádiz to Cork. The artist mounted her custom camera rig onto a CTD instrument, which measures conductivity, temperature, and the vertical profile of the water. At 80 meters below the surface, particles of marine snow drift through the dark waters, accompanied by tiny and larger lifeforms, revealing a hidden vitality and a secret choreography of the ocean that is usually invisible to the human eye.
