aguaviva

A landscape in constant change is created by foam on the surface of a river that swirls with the tidal movement as it drains to the sea. The whitish foam is the result of pollution by dejects thrown in a stream in the coast of Uruguay. In late afternoon light, the dark surface of the water becomes the background for the patterns created by the moving whitish dirt; the foam on the surface moves along with the rhythm of the water, and is constantly changed by this movement, caught in the flux. The resulting image is ambiguous; the beautiful is created out of the abject. The sound track is created through the modulation of the original recordings; the wind and the sea sounds are modulated creating a disturbing ominous atmosphere
