Abstract
This study focuses on the new critical approach of hydro-criticism for the study of events and symbolic production related to bodies of water, maritime journeys, underwater museums and other forms of representation in which oceanic extensions (or seas, lakes and other hydro formations) present alternatives to traditional land-based analysis. The paper discusses artistic productions that represent questions of migration through submerged pieces constructed as amphibious objects for aesthetic and ideological value that challenge traditional ways to interpret reality and human existence.
