“It was the sea and I. And the sea was alone and I was alone. One of the two was missing.”
An underwater journey composed of a maze of 8 large-scale video projections where boundaries are undefined and spatial coordinates are inverted.
Embraced by the shapeless, infinite and ever changing, we find ourselves surrounded by moving images that are hard to identify and spaces that call us in, drawing us to their ocean depths, where at moments we seem not to be alone. Vision becomes an uncertain impression; we are submerged, mid-voyage, trapped in a story with no beginning or end, never-ending and always changing.

“Like ice, desire remains silent. Because desire, as the frozen lands do, keeps on moving, unceasingly.
[El deseo] igual que el hielo, calla. Porque el deseo, como las tierras frías, se mueve tanto, incesante.”
“Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
— But who is that on the other side of you?”
