The life on, above and under water has long captivated Ms. Jana Winderen. Delving into the hidden depths to uncover the complexity and mystery of the invisible world beneath, reaching places and creatures that are hard to access, she brings the audio topography and richness of the oceans to the surface. As fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects and mammals use sound to communicate, orient, hunt and meet across the globe’s oceans, she has recorded everything from seals to dolphins, humpback whales, shrimp, cod, perch, damselfish, bats and even coral reefs. Creating intensely moving experiences, her works may be viewed as a call to action in light of urgent environmental issues that we may be less aware of since we can’t see them directly, as they are submerged in the seas.
Ms. Winderen has long been obsessed with the ecological impact of ever-present manmade sounds on our planet, saying, “For all creatures that live in the ocean that are dependent on communicating with each other, all these sounds that humans are pouring into the water are stressing them. I think we are not so much aware of it, but it’s very important that more attention be placed on it because if people knew, they wouldn’t necessarily do it. It’s unbelievable that we are allowing this to happen around us. But it’s also about the listening experience itself and our position as human beings. We have input from everywhere all the time. We are filtering reality. I think it’s time to ‘put your finger in the earth,’ like we say in Norway, which means to recalibrate or ground yourself, to get real.”
