An immersive art installation evoking the spatiality of the undersea landscape together with the colours and lifeforms within this hidden, fluid realm.


HAV has many co-creators: barnacles and marine biologists, porcelain, sugar kelp, saltwater, ceramicists,  clay, annelids and many more. The saltwater aquarium is the exhibition centrepiece. Here the lead roles are played by natives of the Oslofjord such as shore crabs, hermit crabs, the eelpout and shorthorn sculpinon on visit from Drøbak aquarium, living in and amongst rocks and in

their new porcelain houses.
