Rumours From the Rear

This object evokes associations with Jules Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870). Viewers are invited to take a look into the deep sea.

Excerpts from the feature film The Mysterious Island (1973) are distorted, as if seen through an inverted periscope. The frequency of the flashing images is based on a Morse code that communicates a section of Verne's text.
