Waterworld: container shipper's collapse leaves absurdist British artist all at sea


The ship is one of dozens of vessels idling in international waters after Hanjin Shipping Co, the world’s seventh-largest container shipper, filed for bankruptcy late last month. “We have no idea when we will get into a port,” Moss told the Guardian in an email from aboard the Hanjin Geneva. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Hanjin Shipping Co has dozens of vessels stranded, with an estimated 2,500 sailors and $14bn of goods. Moss embarked on the ship as part of an artist residency – titled “23 Days at Sea” – organised by Vancouver’s Access Gallery. The absurdity she had hoped to find when she embarked on the ship now seems to be everywhere she looks.
