MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

ASHER JAY, ARTIST AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER
365 Mixed Media Plastic Bottles
Immersive Soundscape Installation
Ca. 10 Ft x 15 Ft x 25 Ft
Jay was inspired to create this work by Sting’s song “Message in a Bottle,” which she heard during a beach clean-up.  365 Bottles, each otherwise a piece of trash, one for each day that it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun --- a revolution of bottles to seed a revolution of change. Personalized messages are written and “sound--scaped” into the installation’s ambient environment to create a “bait ball” of voices from celebrities, scientists, and conservationists, united to make an ocean of difference. 

Photographed by Dar Riser, Sara Snyder, AJ Ferrer.

Post Production by Asher Jay.
