Fishing for Islands stirs up a wave of oceanic activities throughout the historic hall of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin. Within 36 hours, or three tidal cycles, the project invites visitors to hear from leading thinkers in the maritime field and delve into a series of performances, scents, and soundscapes – by renowned artists whose work is anchored in oceanic spaces – until the early morning hours.

Fishing for Islands opened on the evening of Friday, October 27 with an experimental "circus" organized by Chus Martínez, which included an artistic ballet conceived by Eduardo Navarro for two mimes and four mechanical hands.
