It takes as its starting point Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea, with the Nautilus submarine and its captain
Nemo - inventor, explorer, oceanologist, gastronome, musician and
terrorist. The undersea is examined as a zone created both by
exploration and invention, from the earliest attempts to photograph
and descend into the depths with deep-sea devices, through the
1960s experiments and actual inhabitation, such as the US Sealab
and Cousteau's Conshelf, to contemporary surveillance of the
rapidly changing oceans. This history is paralleled and subverted
by a fictitious history of films such as The Abyss, The Life
Aquatic, Das Boot, Bioshock, Fantastic Voyage and other
hallucinogenic delights.
