Cachalot is ongoing artistic research on self-ethnography, poetics, economics, mythology, ecologies, and colonialism around whale-based imaginaries, specifically cachalots or so-called sperm whales: their complex system of communication and echolocation, their relation with humans and their story/history. Cachalot embodies these stories/complexities in a cyborg figure of a cetacean deity. A deity that references mythological giant creatures, known for carrying worlds on their backs. To wear a landscape, a soundscape, a territory.
