Fishermen & The Ocean

Ongoing
Video Installation with two art discs made of re-used boats
Fishermen and the Ocean is a video of a performance, which expresses these ideas and celebrates the ocean as a medium of intercontinental cultural exchange. The artist considers himself an ocean artist and is a former doctor, who ran a hospital near Calangute beach. Since the fishermen were his patients, he could experience their lives from a close angle. He realized that the lives of fishermen are inseparable from the ocean. As a student of history and anthropology, the artist also understands how the ocean is responsible for creating civilizations. “If Goan culture is a sculpture, then the ocean is a sculptor”, says the artist.
