Floating with Sharks: July 2011

Summary

The uncertainty of the future is forever haunting in these times of climate change. The seas are rising, people are moving and lives are merging. As viewed from below, ‘Floating with Sharks’ reflects the drowning and dislocation of identity amid the shifting shoreline. In this fanciful, watery world there are no marauding barbarians, lawless scavengers or lowcast hybrids. There's not even a tidal wave. Just shark whisperers, frollicking water-pigs and other folk taking the fish out for a walk. What emerges is a speculative fantasy of new harmonies. A whimsical playground reconstructed from the traces that remain.
