In the Turquoise video installation, visual artists Kaisu Koivisto and Anna Nykyri examine the colour of the water of the Baltic Sea, which is affected among other things by pollutants, eutrophication and blue algae. Baltic Sea research data is used as indicators of changes in the image flow of the work.

The image layers in Turquoise show the world of living creatures depicted with the help of a microscope, aquatic plants, waves and sea animals. The work was filmed in the Gulf of Finland, at the Husö Biological Station in the Åland Islands and on Svalbard.
