excavation

The project’s genesis as an excavation of found material hints at concepts having to do with forgotten technology and lost futures, yet the emotional appeal of the music is palpable.

But amazing advances in underwater discovery and excavation technology have made the finding and recovery of even the most seemingly inaccessible wrecks more possible than previously thought.

The excavation comes after another fin whale stranded on the Cornish coast on Monday.

The plan includes a new entrance at the eastern end of the Louvre, and the excavation of new exhibition spaces including a separate gallery for the Mona Lisa.

Much has already been made of Hawke’s performance, which required a physical transformation alongside the actor’s emotional excavation.
