The Last Salmon
architecture school project / artistic research / audiovideo walk
2021
Atso Airola & Luna Scéau
The Last Salmon is a space-specific audiovideo walk that speculates the acoustic conditions of salmon and the current state of salmon farming in Norway. In the walk, participants are visually andaurally guided through space with the help of their phones and headphones. From their phone screens participants follow a series of pre-recorded events that make them enter and navigate the experience of a migrating wild salmon swimming through the space. They follow the salmon’s journey starting from the river, swimming through the fjord, entering to the open sea and endingback to the river.
The video walk is inspired by the work of Janet Cardiff. Cardiff is an artist that uses multimedia soundinstallations and audio/video walks toimmerse people in some environments or story that she creates. In her video walks, physical presence and motion in the space, together with pre recorded events on the screen, create a double reality, where the fictional world of the film blends with the reality of the architecture and the body in motion.
This project is part of a collaboration called ’Coastal Interference’ that consisted of four group projects from the master course ’Ocean Space III - coreography for Norskehavet’.
Coastal Interference was displayed at The Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2022 in the Multiplicity category, and it was one of the four projects that won the Univerisities Competition award:
