COD CONNECTION

floating sound-sculpture

A collaboration with a composer
John A. Wilhite-Hannisdal, investigating the relationship between codfish and humans, focusing on symbiosis and life-cycles. 
Wilhite-Hannisdal spent several years recording the mating calls of cod with Dr. Oomen in Arendal, Norway, and it is from these recordings that sound is made. These are the first close up “studio” recordings of cod mating. The sculptures are made from old fishing boats. Fishing activity artefacts, charged with energies of floating and drifting in the water, are intertwined with the images of fish bodies. The sound sources are placed inside the sculptures.
