Everything belonged to the water, 2020

Living in the desert makes you acutely aware of the absence of water and the excess of heat. It reminds you that at any moment nature can dominate and defeat you. It can be an inhospitable and hostile place, but it is also indescribably beautiful and unique. Rain becomes a pleasure you delight in, and loneliness becomes a home.

Having lived in the desert for more than twelve years, I review, retrace, and understand my past as a fundamental and decisive moment in my relationship with water and, therefore, the landscape itself. Everything belonged to the water is a video that explores the personal relationships established with the landscape. The tradition of distant contemplation is renounced, and the territory is reconsidered as a place of experiences, exchanges, and memories. Nostalgia and intimacy encompass the piece, with the intention of immersing the viewer in an experience that emerges directly from the memories of living in a land without water.
