Oceano mare

Antoinette Zwirchmayr’s gaze ignores hierarchies. Nature, people, things, and thoughts merge into surreal shapes and recurring afterimages. Playing with Alessandro Baricco’s eponymous novel, her latest film approaches sensations of an ocean we don’t see. Yet there is a female body lying on a riverbed and her hair wraps around dead branches turned into stumps. They seem to have been rescued from the sea and drift towards each other like flotsam between life and death. (Patrick Holzapfel)
