Worldwide, only ten percent of the ocean surface has been mapped and explored. At a moment in history when the planet we live on seems to have been explored extensively, some places remain unstudied and untouched but also at great risk.
After their acclaimed performances Mining Stories and Pleasant Island, Silke Huysmans and Hannes Dereere present Out of the Blue – the final part of their trilogy on mining. With resources on land becoming increasingly scarce and overexploited, mining companies turn towards the ocean.
Through a series of interviews and conversations, an intimate portrait of this new industry emerges.
