Although the oceans make up more than 70% of the Earth, until now only a very small part of the seabed has been mapped. However, in recent years, the mapping of these spaces has accelerated due to different economic, geopolitical and scientific interests, determined to build a \u201cnew continent\u201d to be explored and exploited under the sea. \u201cLiquid ground\u201d is a video essay that takes as its thematic axis the ocean floor and its current cartography to talk about colonialism, ecology and representation.
