The Whiteness Of A Whale by Zhao Renhui and Satoshi Kataoka is a project with The Institute of Critical Zoologists. Residents of the Southern Japanese seaside village Omishima are often called “The Whale People”, or kujira no hitobito, people who live among whales. They got their name because of their obsessive and bizarre worship of whales and all things whale-related. In 1937, something happened that seized the entire village's imagination: a monk reported a sighting of a white whale along the village coast. Thus the search for the white whale began. The villagers raised funds to build a massive underwater tower in the middle of the ocean, which took more than ten years to complete. They had to cross a five-mile bridge on foot to reach the tower, all in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the white whale if returned. In 1960, a boat with an iconic white whale’s tail was built to carry out more search expeditions for the white whale. The boat had an underwater viewing chamber which, on a clear day, allowed the villagers to see up to 5 miles through the ocean depths. Today, few residents remember this way of life, although the watch tower and the boat are still around. A few still continue the search for the white whale. 27 July– 1 August at Jendela (Visual Art Space), Esplanade Level 2.
