We are no longer breathing air, but water. The living things here are not upright, but horizontal, and they change sex at will. Stones move, flowers walk, and stars sleep on the sand. The sky is made of waves, the sun and the moon reign far above, yet their discs are never perfect, instead always shimmering and blurred by the deep waters.
Here, time and scale are turned upside down. Unknown creatures exist in these depths, each bound to the rest.
With Planet Coral project, Icebreaker offers a new vision of coral reefs, a world away from the usual “aquarium” images. Like an explorer setting foot on an unknown planet, guided by science and emotion, the spectator will take a journey of discovery to places as yet unseen by human eyes: from the heart of the coral reef and the infinitesimally tiny, to the vastest of tableaux. The cameras will break free from the laws of physics to see the underwater world from a new perspective and glimpse landscapes comparable to those seen on the surface. Let us embark on an adventure into a fragile, uncharted world. A world so close by.
