Planet Ozean

In the organizer's words:

From the coasts to the depths of the seas

In several chapters, the exhibition in the Gasometer shows impressive large-format photographs and films, some of which have never been shown before, that focus on the world's oceans. For example, a harlequin octopus dances happily through the lagoon of Mayotte, a blue shark makes direct eye contact and a sea lion observes the perfectly camouflaged rag fish. The negative effects of human intervention in the oceans - whether through energy production, trade or fishing - are impressively illustrated by Audun Rikardsen's painting "Net loss": a torn fishing net releases its catch and fills the sea with dead fish.

In keeping with this, the "Planet Ocean" exhibition is dedicated to marine conservation and research. The German Oceanographic Museum supports the show with its scientific expertise. Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, changes in the oceans can now be precisely recorded. The Gasometer Oberhausen presents this data with the "Ocean Twin", an interactive globe developed by Esri that visualizes the latest scientific findings in a geographical information network.
