Embassy of the North Sea
Ambassade van de Noordzee, the Embassy of the North Sea, is founded as the first multi-year case of The Parliament of Things (Bruno Latour), a speculative research into the emancipation and rights of animals, plants and things. It was founded on the principle that the North Sea owns itself. Here, the voices of plants, animals, microbes, and people in and around the North Sea are listened to and involved. Their project consists of three (timed) phases that each produces its own set of actions: listening to the sea, speaking on behalf of the sea and negotiating on behalf of the sea.
