PLANKTON MANIFESTO ALBA
Plankton capture more Co2 from the atmosphere than all of the world’s forests combined.
PLANKTON MANIFESTO is a collaborative and future-oriented movement based on art, aware- ness and empathy. Local and international cre- ators are manifesting their dreams through their knowledge, expertise and experience sharing the vision and mission to preserve underwater life.
PLANKTON MANIFESTO draws attention to the invisible, threatened underwater world. This movement fulfills an important task of the 17 UN Sustainability Goals, specifically in the context of Goal #14 called “Life Below Water”.
Plankton sustain ocean ecosystems, serving as the basis of the marine food chain and produce a similar amount of oxygen as all of the world’s forests combined. The crucial role of phyto- plankton as the gatekeepers of energy provision to all life in the oceans, may likely be altered by climate change.
Internationally renowned artist Katja Loher is exhibiting a new series of video-sculptures and immersive installations, which becomes the stage for co-manifestations.
The notion of this new series of video-sculp- tures makes the beauty of plankton visible to the human eye. It represents the space of syn- thesis in which Loher, through her immersive installations, communicates her thoughts and questions of the Anthropocene, when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems.
