The short video essay is concerning the use of fiction as an aspect of worldmaking. Video is structured through several animated photographs, a short record of sleeping octopus, and a poem written as an conversation in-between octopus, imaginary island, and viewer. Presented as a large-scale projection supplemented with all the wine glass available in gallery space filled with slimy fluids (seaweed starch), salt, and dry out salt solution, placed on the floor beneath the pro- jection. An important part of the work is the watery soundscape recorded at different places of Italian coastline blending with recordings of wine glass vibrations. Background for this work is the story of artificial nonexisting Island – Null Island located in international waters close to the West African coast. Island is located at the exact place where the prime meridian and the equator cross, the location, and fiction of this one square meter island is used by mapping systems to trap GPS navigating errors.
