WILDLIFE • 2030
video installation
artist/director Robin Petré
artist/photographer Maria Grazia Goya
sound designer August Drenck
exhibited at THE KRANE, Nordhavn,
Copenhagen during Åben Festival 2020
WILDLIFE • 2030 makes a fascinating, sensory journey through the process of saving hundreds of wild swans from a catastrophic oil spill — all seen from the birds’ perspective.
The video installation takes a look at the environmental challenges of today while simultaneously presenting a possible future scenario in which even wildlife is dependent on human intervention in order to survive in an overindustrialized world. Merging its video images with the surroundings, the installation allows artwork and reality to impact each other continuously. WILDLIFE • 2030 was first exhibited at THE KRANE, an authentic old coal crane converted into a hotel in Nordhavn, Copenhagen.
