Exploring Kristina Õllek’s marine and coastal ecological interest, the publication «Filter Feeders, Double Binds & Other Blooms» invites us to think with her four-year-long working process, based on research and personal observations around anthropocentric influences on marine ecology. Focusing on the North Sea and its filter feeders: blue mussels, oysters and the expanding jellyfish population; as well as on the Baltic Sea and its cyanobacteria, blue-green algal blooms and dead zones.

The publication includes a letter correspondence between Kristina Õllek and curator Angeliki Tzortzakaki, as well a collaborative visual essay by Kristina Õllek, Angeliki Tzortzakaki and Kert Viiart, and an essay by theorist Jeff Diamanti.

The publication includes a wide range of exhibition views from her three recent solo exhibitions at Draakon Gallery (Tallinn), A Tale of A Tub (Rotterdam) and ISSP gallery (Riga).
