Austrian Andreas Franke is a professional diving photographer. Last year, he had a chance to inspect the ship "Vandenberg", which sank off the coast of Florida. In addition to standard underwater photographs, Andreas Franke brought back an interesting idea from his trip - to use the sunken ship as an exhibition hall for his photographs and collages. How is he worse than Jason Taylor, who opened his own underwater sculpture park? No sooner said than done.
A sunken ship is a special space where contrasts coexist. “Even though the sea life was in full swing there, inside and out, the ship was dead to me,” says Andreas Franke of last year's trip to the underwater world. But how to dispel the depressing impression so that emptiness and lifelessness are no longer evident? The experimental photographer decided to arrange a mass event on the sunken ship, which he had practiced on land more than once - an exhibition of his own works.
Who is the underwater photography exhibition for? For real travelers who are not interested in just getting on a minibus and in eleven minutes to be at their destination. To make the art event better remembered, you need to spend a lot of time on the road, get into a diving suit, learn to breathe correctly and descend to a depth of 28 meters, where you can contemplate examples of modern photography.
The exhibition of photographs and collages by Andreas Franke is called Vandenberg: Life Underwater. During the event, the sunken 159-meter military ship turned into an unusual gallery, where art lovers in scuba diving roam. The exposition consists of 12 laminated photographs in stainless steel frames. Powerful magnets hold them on the walls.
The pictures of Andreas Franke hanging on the walls bring the sunken ship to life, but contrast with the rusty metal and tackle on which new life has started. However, the exhibits themselves play with this. So, in one of the underwater collage photographs, a girl with a butterfly net is catching fish - and where is it? - on the deck of the already familiar sunken ship "Vandenberg"!
