Text:

Mikhail Karikis’ new film and sound installation SeaWomen, focussing on a vanishing community of elderly female sea workers living on the North Pacific island of Jeju. The work depicts the community of working women called ‘haenyeo’, all now aged between 60 and 90 years old, who dive to great depths with no oxygen supply to catch sea-food, collect seaweed and find pearls.
