A theme with countless ways to convey and a variety of thoughts and perspectives to move around. The sea loved and hated, a source of peace and fear. An eternal constant, that's alive in its own rhythm, with movement, with breath and atmosphere. It is a huge source of mystery as many parts of it have not been explored, creating an extremely fertile ground for the imagination, to give birth to thoughts and conjectures about what it can hide. Myths and stories from around the world come to light every now and then and create a huge interest and source of inspiration for the artistic field. Fantastic water creatures have been my subject several times, without always understanding how I came to this choice. In the case of this video, in fact, I filmed points that I couldn't even approach, but they seemed very interesting and completely obvious signs of time. The waves, sometimes calm, sometimes dynamic, sometimes "angry", that whip the whole place, seem to look like corresponding breaths, calm, intense and sometimes uncontrollable. This gives the impression that the whole place "breathes", combines abandonment and loss with life. Buildings and ships creak at every movement of the air or any other kind of interference, as if breathing. One has the impression that it is located in a highly navigable place, not on a piece of land, everything communicates. The charming aquatic and above-ground creatures give the space another note and life. Creatures so united with the environment that they give the feeling of camouflage. Their presence is felt only in case something disturbs the atmosphere. They move slowly and calmly, making their presence difficult to feel.
Unfortunately I couldn't capture the natural sounds, so I tried to find them in individual recordings and compose them in a way that conveys the atmosphere. The general impression is of a floating cemetery, of a timeless reality, with a strong atmosphere of an eerie kind of life. Place of chronologies, coexistences and opposites. The senses of time are confused, life meets death, the eternal meets the finished.
