The Anatomy of Floating
The Anatomy of Floating, is a pseudo museum display of a reconstruction of Pakicetus,
the first whale, before it evolved into an aquatic animal. The whale’s transition from the
land into the sea is ‘stratified’ with the vertical relocation of humans from land into
the micro-gravitational environments. Pakicetus in this speculative narrative acts as
the ancestral anchor point for all mammalians which have in time evolved in opposing
directions from each other.
