WORK SMARTER
The light dissipates into an all-consuming darkness. The temperature drops close to the freezing point and the pressure of the water is crushing. The adaptations to this extreme environment seem strange to the human gaze. Eyes are large enough to see even the faintest traces of light, and bodies appear as ephemeral ghosts, in all imaginable shapes and colors. Upon reaching the expanses of the abyssal plains the ground is scattered with concretions 10 centimeters in diameter, enigmatic formations called manganese nodules. They contain vital rare earths, essential for powering the devices that define human existence. Heralded by an illuminated sediment cloud a harvester comes into view. The machine gathers the nodules in a long narrow stripe leaving nothing but a deep plow track etched in the ocean floor.
"work smarter" is a work that Corina Rauer originally developed during a stay at the Fundaziun Nairs and consists of drawings and text. Further drawings have since been created. For the Frisch exhibition, she is accompanied by Martin Heynen, who reverberates the voices of the deep.
