The underwater world not only operates a “conceptual displacement” that leads to rethink long-established paradigms; it generates failures and disruptions of both such paradigms and of the technologies developed to support them. By doing so, water challenges the heuristics of visuality not only due to its biophysical characteristics, but also to how seawater reacts toContinue reading ““Thermography” : exploring the failures of underwater imagery and their relation with coloniality”

Most of my projects that use underwater film, experimental photography, sound design, drawing, and video performance constitute a long-term and multi-situated process of mapping sites, events, and experiences of nonhuman agency against the “slow violence” (R.

Inspired by the notion of “bodies of water”, developed in Feminist phenomenology, it explores how the trauma of gender-based violences (including sexual assault) is linked to nature’s human-inducedContinue reading ““Aqueous corporealities”: imaging trauma in the anthropocene”
