Edition: 800, design: Astrid Seme with Liza Borovskaya-Brodskaya, 2021
On October 6th 2020, Instagram celebrated its 10 year anniversary. Shortly after the social photo sharing app was launched in October 2010, Calypso's Cave on the Maltese island of Gozo was closed off to the public after a partial collapse due to geological movement. While the “stabilisation and conservation project” announced by the Ministry of Gozo is still awaiting completion, the cave on the opposite side of the bay has become increasingly popular amongst the social media community – and is now also being tagged – as #calypsocave. Swiss media artist Stefan Karrer approaches Calypso Cave through its photographic reception on social media platforms. In doing so he has tracked down a comedy of errors and humorously shows us how social platforms influence and change our travels and the way we consume landscape and its cultural heritage.
