It took Diebboll 20 days to make it from Busan, South Korea to the Panama Canal. Here are pictures from her passage into the Caribbean and then on to the east coast of the US.

Diebboll is going through the Panama Canal after 25 days at sea on the container ship ZIM Haifa. After leaving the ports of Shanghai & Pusan, she crossed Japan’s Tsugaru Strait out to the Northern Pacific, south of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands towards Baja California and then traveled along the coast of Central America to the canal.

About

Following a trip on a container vessel from Israel to New Jersey in 2011, I conceived of the Container Artist Residency. As part of the project, I facilitated, through a long chain of emails, calls, WhatsApp texts, and the funds obtained from a shipping line a residency at sea for seven artists (eight to be exact, as one of the artists was a duo). This website stand alongside the website dedicated to the first edition, and is meant to record and present the process of producing the project, as well as continuing a conversation with the different contributors who took part in the residency. With the goals of realizing further editions in the future, it will also host the records of the anticipated continuation of the project.
