Experience the Subatlantic Video Art Exhibition by Ursula Biemann at MUCAC La Coracha

This video exhibition presents the 2015 work 'Subatlantic' by Swiss artist Ursula Biemann, a science-fiction poem exploring climate change and the Holocene era. Through the perspective of a fictional scientist, the work examines glacial melting and multispecies cohabitation in locations ranging from Greenland to the Caribbean.

In 'Subatlantic' (2015), video essayist Ursula Biemann juxtaposes geology and climatology to explore the environmental shifts of the late Holocene. Filmed across diverse locations including the Disco Bay in Greenland, the Shetland Islands, and the Caribbean, the video follows the observations of a fictional scientist witnessing the dramatic melting of glaciers. This visual inquiry serves as a profound reflection on the emergence of new genetic materials from thawing environments, signaling a shift in planetary history. Beyond documenting ecological change, the work is framed as a science-fiction poem that envisions an optimistic future. By highlighting the intense cohabitation of species in the ocean, Biemann proposes new ways of thinking about our connection to the environment. The exhibition invites visitors to consider a world where humanity has transitioned away from domination toward a state of living in deep harmony with the natural world, emphasizing the artist's ongoing commitment to exploring climate-related themes and visual world-building.

Admission to MUCAC La Coracha is free for all visitors. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 20:00, and visitors can access the exhibition during these hours without prior booking required.
