En savoir plus sur le livre
This publication combines essays from scholars and thinkers with key texts and excerpts from Allan Sekula's private notebooks. The title references Okeanos, the Greek god of the ocean, reflecting Sekula's focus on maritime space and the implications of globalization. His works, including Fish Story (1989-95), Lottery of the Sea (2006), and The Forgotten Space (2010), offer perspectives from the sea. This collection deepens the exploration of oceanic themes, honoring the complexity of Sekula's contributions while situating his ideas within contemporary political, social, and environmental discussions. Thematically organized, the section "Containerization" examines the sea as a site of infrastructure challenges. It revisits Sekula's Black Tide / Marea negra (2002-3), addressing environmental violence and its social consequences. Personal drawings by Sekula accompany an essay by photo historian Sally Stein. Additional essays reflect on Sekula's legacy in the Anthropocene, while various case studies by contemporary artists and thinkers explore overlapping ideas and expand upon his interests, enriching the discourse around his influential work.
