SUBmotion - Audiovisual installation in the historic center - Maratea (PZ) - Italy
2014
The spectacular scenery of the seabed, the shifting colors, and the sparkling surface of sun rays rise three hundred meters up from the sea to reclaim an intense history of relationships with the city of Maratea and its people. The audio-video installation attempts to mend the controversial relationship between sea and city, between man and nature, highlighting Maratea's two souls: the more commercial one, dominated by tourist flows, and the more secret, ancient one, made of narrow alleys that are rarely traveled because they are barely accessible.
The sounds and images of the seabed, merging with the voices and noises of the anthropized village, saturate the stone walls of the buildings through acoustic and visual suggestions, transforming them into cinematic backdrops. The tunnels of the narrow streets become sounding boards, thereby restoring the emotion and movement of a marine habitat in constant dynamism.
SUBmotion was created as part of the event AcquAria-Maratea step 36, curated by Lucania Promotion, which took place from September 10 to 14, 2014.
