“One”, A Letter to Eternity
Current Project Today’s refugees are the new settlers: Carriers of Hope. Along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and its hinterlands, following the Phoenicians historic maritime route, an entangling ‘Odyssean’ gaze creates yet another tale of the ‘condition humaine’. The film, of which its first episode, “One”, A Letter to Eternity, shall become a spatial installation and film sculpture, displaying a human chain of people, over generations, in embrace – Pietà alike. A ‘living’ sculpture, where habitants of the Mediterranean co-create a lasting imprint, ‘a vivid blueprint’, for eternity.
