Cyprinus Carpio L. explores how glyphosate is impacting our aquatic environments, specifically the common carp. It has been found that glyphosate effects carp in a multitude of ways including liver inflammation, changes to the physical barrier of the intestine, brain effects that decrease both swimming distance and average acceleration, oxidative DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. I located a multitude of images of the physical damage that glyphosate causes to the gills and intestines of carp. This resulted in the video installation Cyprinus Carpio L., which features a series of seven hung sheer fabric pieces, with projected imagery created from transparencies of deteriorated fish gills and cells. The transparencies were then combined with water and manipulated on top of an overhead projector. This installation takes microscopic images and projects them at a larger-than-life scale, allowing the viewer to confront the mortality of the carp as they maneuver throughout the hung fabric installation.
