Walk & Talk with Elena Bollati in “Being Coral”

Meet one of the lead researchers working behind the exhibition as she takes guests on a walk through beautiful, sensory video portraits of the planet’s vanishing corals.

Documentary filmmaker and video artist Maja Friis is the creator of the exhibition “Being Coral” which explores the impact of climate change on the planet’s corals through research-based art.

In collaboration with a team of coral researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Friis has made macro-optic recordings of selected tropical coral species. The video portraits allow the audience to experience these tiny creatures on a large scale and in a uniquely intimate way.

During this special evening tour, Elena Bollati will share insights into the creation of the close collaboration with coral researchers from the University of Copenhagen, which made the macro recordings possible, and the scientific methods behind the exhibition.
