The Sea is a Blue Memory
is an artwork by visual artist Priyageetha Dia, for Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2022–2023. The title design of the artwork explores the idea of the sea as an archive/anti-archive, as an enduring vessel for holding histories and information.
Described as “an archive of the enduring”, the sea holds enduring fragments, forming in a layered space without order and orientation — slippery, elusive, and indeterminate. (Credits — Title animation: Nghia Phung; All artwork image, video, and photograph courtesy of the artist)
