Atlantis
- the lost continent, the utopian city created as a distortion
of the collective memory out of an uncontrollable human need
for exaltation, for perfection. Its true essence has been invented
in the past, is absent in the present, but exists in the memory.
The first part is about the search for the loss: a journey of
the memory, distorted and partly erased - a volitional illusion,
a necessary illusion. It is a self deception at its best to
which we willfully surrender. Atlantis does not exist; it was
invented and never meant to be found, but the man needs it and,
therefore, invented it like the flesh of the Leviathan awaiting
the righteous in Paradise. The rays of the sun breaking on the
surface of the Atlantic Ocean, spread before the eyes of the
viewer, erase a stretch of water, hide but also indicate an
enveloping place that repeats 23 times while only the sparkles
on the water vary.
