Driftless by Felipe Castelblanco Pulverturm, Oldenburg
Sept 6– Dec. 14 , 2025
We are pleased to announce that Felipe Castelblanco’s video installation Driftless is currently on view at Haus der Medienkunst, Oldenburg, presented in the atmospheric setting of the Pulverturm.
On view from Sept 6 to December 14, 2025, Driftless is a three-channel video work that explores the ocean as a radical and unbounded public space. Developed over seven years of performative journeys across bodies of water in Colombia, North America, Europe, and beyond, the work reflects on movement, migration, and the porous nature of political and physical boundaries.
Emerging from Castelblanco’s experience on Colombia’s Pacific coast—where he once purchased a piece of land that was later claimed by the ocean—Driftless transforms personal history into poetic reflection. The piece engages with water as space, nationhood as confinement, and seafaring as both resistance and aesthetic practice.
Set within the circular architecture of the Pulverturm, the immersive installation invites viewers to enter a meditative drift—between continents, concepts, and currents.
