The Sea Colony (Havskollonin) is a new video work that will be shown at Halland Art Museum October 17, 2026 – January 17, 2027 during the exhibition Road Signs (Vägmärken) – 10 Years of Art Inside Out.
The Sea Colony (Havskolonin) is a new video work emerging from a performative and collective experiment developed in and around Laholmsbukten on the Swedish west coast. Through an open call, a group of participants gathered for a three-week process exploring speculative forms of aquatic coexistence in a time of rising sea levels and shifting planetary conditions.
Together, we developed alternative personas, bodily extensions, wetsuits, sounds, movements, and rituals, as if new organs and logics were slowly emerging. The resulting film follows a temporary colony moving through sand dunes and shorelines, somewhere between exhaustion, play, transformation, and migration. Bodies crawl toward the sea, costumes are shed and abandoned, and another reality gradually begins to take shape.
The work is produced with support from Art Inside Out.
New music for the work is composed by Adele Marcia Kosman.
The Sea Colony will be presented at Halland Art Museum in autumn 2027.
