Guided tour through the exhibition »Janet Laurence: The Burnt Sea« with the artist Janet Laurence and Stefanie Regina Dietzel (in English)
In the exhibition The Burnt Sea, renowned Australian artist Janet Laurence presents an installation s conceived especially for the Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation. Incorporating Alfred Ehrhardt’s iconic coral photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, Laurence creates an atmospheric experiential space that makes the fragility and increasing threat to marine life impressively tangible. Laurence does not show the corals in their former splendor, but as decayed, ash-colored remnants – symbols of a “burning state” of the earth that can be felt even in the depths of the oceans. Heat waves and rising sea temperatures lead to coral bleaching and endanger one of the most species-rich ecosystems on our planet. With her work, the artist draws urgent attention to the pressing ecological crisis, as only a third of the world’s coral reefs are still considered intact – their disappearance means a dramatic loss, not only for the oceans, but for the global ecological balance.
During the tour, the artist and Stefanie Regina Dietzel, head of archive at the Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation, talk about the alarming decline of the reefs, but also about hope and approaches to reviving these unique habitats. The exhibition navigates between states of loss, care and comfort, inviting us to consider nature’s vulnerability not only as a warning, but also as an inspiration for mindful and responsible interaction with our environment.
Janet Laurance (*1947) is one of Australia’s first and most important ecological artists. Her immersive works explore our often-contradictory relationship with nature and the threat of climate change, always working at the intersection of art and science. She has been awarded both a Rockefeller and a Churchill Fellowship for her work. Her most significant solo exhibitions include Tears of Dust at the Museum of Australian Photography in Melbourne. In 2019 she was honored with the survey exhibition After Nature at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.
