In-Venue
In her new exhibition, Conor Clarke explores the sensory landscapes that the Kaikōura tītī navigate through. Clarke presents photographs of seascapes that carry the scent of DMS (dimethyl sulphide), which plumes into the air when zooplankton – seabirds’ main food source – eat phytoplankton. These plumes not only guide seabirds towards food, but also act as wayfinding markers, generating scent maps that reflect the seafloor below. The resulting photographs Clarke has created evoke the tītī's ability to wayfind, forage and migrate across the ocean.
