Business Overview
What color will the sea be 100 years from now? Recent studies suggest that the ocean will turn darker blue due to global warming. Taking this scientific prediction as a starting point, George Stamatakis transcribed his underwater photographs on silk and dyed them with Japanese indigo. The film looks beyond the postponed Olympics and the 2020 years of global chaos, and depicts a future that is not yet in memory.
