In this video installation, a performer travels across large bodies of water while drifting away in a precarious raft that references makeshift strategies for border crossing. This cinematic and performative journey across the planet creates a visual narrative that borrows from migration stories and explores the ocean as post-national negative territory through acts of radical seafaring.<\/p>\n<p>In 2012 I attempted to build the smallest boat that could hold only one person\u2019s weight. As a result, I devised a precarious way to navigate through large bodies of water using generic construction materials and a chair, while confronting unruly seascapes from within. This gesture became an eight-year durational performance and then a film, which started in lake Wesserunsett in Main (Northeast of the USA) and then was re-enacted in places like the Pacific Coast of Colombia, Mexico, California, England, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Philippines and Australia among many. The film \u2018wanders-through\u2019 large bodies of water at the margins of modern life and where notions of nationhood appear as mere modes of contemporary confinement. Through a derive, which blurs borderlines and even the natural features of radically different locations around the world, this journey traverses not only space but also nature-culture relations by exposing the paradoxes of a territorial system that desperately seeks to restrict human movement while constantly increasing its reliance on transportation networks and migrant labor.<\/p>\n<p>This installation is part of the exhibition <strong><a href=\"\/en\/exhibitions\/current\/counter-expeditions\">Felipe Castelblanco: <em>Counter-Expeditions<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, which will be on display at the Haus of Media Art from July 2 to November 14, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-7175","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"gallery":[11821],"start_date":"20250906","end_date":"20251102","opening_start":null,"opening_end":null,"events":"","artists":[6283],"sponsors":[1819,1815,1837],"publications":null,"videos":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/7175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor\/1837"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor\/1815"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor\/1819"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/6283"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
