Eva Linder's film "Everything on earth will perish - Arendt, Noah and the animals build a boat" is loosely based on Hannah Arendt's thoughts on human rights and the biblical story of Noah's ark. It is the great ark that, according to Genesis in the Bible, was built by Noah according to God's instructions. Noah was given the task of saving himself, his family and all the animals of the earth from a worldwide flood, the so-called deluge. The story appears in the Abrahamic religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Linder's work here asks the existential questions that follow the story of Noah; who should be saved and who should be left behind? Who will make the selection? In the film, the character Hannah Arendt has begun to suspect that the boat Noa is building will not be able to accommodate everyone. Arendt, the Wolf and the Sheep gather and confront Noah, who refers to God's instructions. The worry is spreading.
On the bottom of the Baltic Sea lies thousands of naval mines left after the World Wars, threatening to detonate. The sea is also threatened by heavy pollution and by studying its changes it is possible to predict what will happen to other oceans in the future. A Wine-colored Sea is a poetic and associative odyssey through a Baltic Sea where clearance divers are looking for mines, dolphins are thriving and where algal blooms are causing color shifts in the water. The film focuses on themes such as vision, illness, threats, and the gaps between description, depiction and experience. The visual material is showing techniques that are used to map the sea bottom for different reasons, and how these techniques are connecting different senses, as for instance in sonars where sound waves get translated into images. Through the text, an ambiguous ”we” is speaking – a collective underwater voice.
