The Golden Age of Whaling > Once There Were Whales Here

"Once There Were Whales Here" is a site specific, interactive installation that includes a sound recording and an invitation to time-travel. Participants choose to occupy one of the three stations, lying on the magic blanket. With the placement of headphones, they are guided on a journey through breath and story that transport the willing to a time when the desert ground was once the ocean floor. When whales, who once swam above, now exist as airplanes flying above.

"Once There Were Whales Here" was part of an on-site art exhibition of time-based performances and gallery exhibition, "Bigger Than Us", at SCRANCH in 29 Palms, California in April of 2019.
