Glowing Oceansby Firoiu Dan Nicolae
Beside the living animals

A deep-sea exhibition for aquariums

The deep sea holds animals that no aquarium can keep alive. Glowing Oceans brings them in as art: anglerfish, vampire squid, Atolla jellies and comb jellies, many times their size, glowing beside the tanks.

What the exhibition brings

  • A dark room with one great lightbox fits a corridor or a hall of 100 to 200 m², and needs no daylight.
  • A route from the sunlit surface down to the trench, with the depth of every creature shown.
  • A natural companion to living jellyfish and deep-water displays.
  • The book and the collector’s prints for the aquarium shop.

Designs that fit

Dark room of 100 m²

One great lightbox and salon walls of prints, dimmed like the twilight zone. Fits a corridor or a temporary exhibition hall.

A route down

Three rooms from light into dark, with the depth of every creature on its caption, so visitors dive from the surface to the trench.

Beside the tanks

Single lightboxes or prints placed near living jellyfish or deep-water displays, to show the animals no aquarium can keep.

How it works

  1. You write to us with your venue, its size and possible dates.
  2. We send the presentation and suggest the design that fits your space.
  3. The plan is redrawn for your real rooms, and the selection of works is agreed.
  4. The artist’s team produces the works and installs the exhibition.
  5. The opening, with the artist present and the book launched.

Questions

Do the works need special conditions?

The prints are on wood or acrylic under glass and the lightboxes need ordinary power. Conditions for each space, such as light and humidity, are checked with your team when the plan is drawn.

Is it suitable for school groups?

Yes. The captions are short and written to be read aloud, and every creature shows its depth, size and glow, which makes it easy to compare animals.

Can we sell the book in our shop?

Yes. The book and the collector’s prints are offered for the length of the exhibition.
