More on our former friend Hanjin: British absurdist filmmaker Rebecca Moss must have thought she was in one of her own movies. She boarded the Hanjin ship Geneva in Vancouver, B.C., for a 23-day artist’s residency, expecting to disembark in Shanghai. She is pictured in a photo from her Instagram page, @_rebecca.moss

About a week into the trip, Hanjin declared bankruptcy, “leaving hundreds of people stranded aboard scores of vessels worldwide,” CNN Money reports (http://tinyurl.com/lostmoss). With no place to dock, the Geneva waited in limbo for instructions while at anchor off the coast of Japan. Crews were told to conserve food and water, not knowing how long they would be stuck.

“All along I had felt the sheer absurdity of this journey …” she said in an interview with the Vancouver Sun.

Fortunately for her, there was an “endpoint to this madness,” and she was dropped off in Tokyo after 25 days aboard. A film will surely be forthcoming.
