6-month solo exhibition ‘AMO’ in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy, in collaboration with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society & a 6-month solo exhibition of a 12-meter whale shark sculpture at Phi Beach, Sardinia, Italy. Through the medium of art, Vincent aimed to raise awareness around the importance of these species for the health of our oceans, and for the future of our planet and humanity.
AWAREHouse
Amsterdam, Netherlands
2021 [permanent]
Vincent Mock’s 12-meter whale shark sculpture is a permanent installation that quite literally floats through the architecture of the space, suspended like a calm giant passing overhead. Built from thousands of individual elements, it transforms the atrium into an underwater scene in mid-air, playful from a distance and obsessively detailed up close. It’s both a spectacle and a quiet reminder of how fragile our oceans really are.
Oceanàrio de Lisboa
Lisbon, Portugal
2019
In 2019, Vincent Mock held a six-month long solo exhibition at the Oceanário de Lisboa (Portugal), officially launched by Her Royal Highness Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands. Turning the venue into a kind of an underwater theatre, his suspended marine sculptures drifted above visitors and pulled the ocean into the room, up close and impossible to ignore.
