{"product_id":"forgotten-seas-tanja-engelberts","title":"Forgotten Seas, Tanja Engelberts","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe world offshore is a world unknown. At least for most of us. Fascinated by the flashing lights in the distance, like the call of sirens on the horizon, Tanja Engelberts (NL) became interested in the offshore oil and gas industry. \u003cem\u003eForgotten Seas\u003c\/em\u003e is the accumulation of six years of research, a journey across the North Sea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work is a photographic exploration of Engelberts’ archive, consisting of documentary photographs taken during her trips on maintenance vessels and on the platforms, as well as historical images she collected over the years. The photographs are combined with written anecdotes about life on an oil rig. Stories of people she met on the sea and her own travel experiences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon the waves we go. From optimism and the feeling that man had conquered nature in the fifties, to a more critical view on the fossil fuel industry and its future: the destruction of the first platforms. Each chapter has its own visual language and design, highlighting the raw and complex structures on the sea while evoking a sense of awe and guilt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eForgotten Seas\u003c\/em\u003e is a testament of seventy years of gas and oil drilling in the North Sea, an industrial landscape that is slowly disappearing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTanja Engelberts is a visual artist based in The Hague. She has worked on several projects related to the fossil fuel industry and in particular how energy production changes our landscape. Engelberts completed a two-year residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Her work was published and exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Estonia, France and Japan. Forgotten Seas is her first published monograph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by The Eriskay Connection\u003cbr\u003eFirst edition of 1,000\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover with dust jacket\u003cbr\u003e216 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e204 × 300 mm\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9789492051936\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Eriskay Connection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50606179025227,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/ForgottenSeas_TanjaEngelberts_Cover.jpg?v=1729077862","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/da\/products\/forgotten-seas-tanja-engelberts","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
