Underwater photography gallery on shipwreck


A photographer has plundered the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to combine his passion for diving and photography with a deep sea exhibition.
If you want to visit, it’ll mean a plunge 140-150 meters below sea level, at the bottom of the Key West Waters. Where the Atlantic meets the Gulf of Mexico, scuba divers can drop to the U.S.S. Vandenberg, sunken just off Key West for an artistic dip.
Austrian artist Andreas Franke has re-installed art on the shipwreck, a former U.S. Air Force missile tracking ship. His goal was to breathe life back into the wreck. Small particles and sea life have attached themselves to the photographs, giving them a living third dimension.
Franke is now researching locations for a completely new installation on a recently-sunken shipwreck off Sanibel Island, Florida, on the state’s gulf coast.
