The three-part video installation "Arrival" by Bodo Korsig immerses the viewer in a calm but also slightly threatening visual world. Spherical underwater sounds and spoken poetry contribute to the work's eerie mood.

Bodo Korsig contrasts two sceneries that are not so very different from each other. Smoking chimneys framing underwater worlds in which plastic bottles squirm like a slumbering monster. "Arrival" shows the contrast between the beauty of our planet and how it is increasingly being destroyed by human intervention. There are vast amounts of plastic floating in every square kilometre of water, marine animals survive in a polluted space.
So do us humans - the veil of fog is becoming more and more present, especially in big cities and conurbations.

The artist criticises the lack of will to disengage from the affluent society and addresses the skewed distribution of money that is driving us further into a negative spiral.
"Reversing the current trends in armament policy would free up resources to concretely tackle the real global problems (such as environmental policy, pandemics, climate change, poverty, etc.)," says Bodo Korsig himself.
