Melik Ohanian: “The Imaginary Sea”, Fondation Carmignac on Porquerolles
“The Imaginary Sea” (La Mer Imaginaire), Fondation Carmignac on Porquerolles
Melik Ohanian is one of the artists who exhibited at the ‘The Imaginary Sea’ (La Mer Imaginaire). La exhibition frames the sea as a source of inspiration, imagination, longing and loss. Humanity’s relationship with the sea is complex: a source of fear, exploitation, eco-anxiety, peril and mystery. With its fusion of modern and contemporary art and site-specific installations, ‘The Imaginary Sea’ frames the marine world as a precious and evocative resource, swarming with known and unknown lives; a place of vastness, inconceivable depth, unexpected things, and also an eco-system of acute fragility.
