An underwater art exhibition has debuted on the world’s second-largest artificial reef, the 523-foot Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, lying in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary about seven miles south of Key West.

Sunday, divers completed installing a dozen 3-foot by 4.5-foot photo illustrations on the Vandenberg’s weather deck, more than 90 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

Created by Austrian art photographer Andreas Franke, the images are encased in plexiglass and mounted in stainless steel frames sealed with silicone. They are a continuation of the artist’s “Sinking World” series which Franke debuted on the Vandenberg in 2011 (You can read the original story here ), two years after the former Air Force missile tracking ship was sunk as an artificial reef.

The manipulated photographs, according to Franke, depict a flamboyant era of European style and cultural history. Among visuals are women gossiping over a picnic and other ladies engaged in a leisurely stroll twirling umbrellas.

Aiding the installation process were divers from the Artificial Reefs International Preservation Trust and Salt Life.
