Madly sinking under and swimming away, each stroke carrying you further from what is real. Beneath the waves, there is silence. With each added layer in the image, the reality of silence is more closely approached. True silence is never quite there; it seems not to exist, as there is always some noise standing in the way. Beneath the waves, there is silence; yet in truth, it is a swirling, throbbing mass. It never falls quiet, not even in stillness. Silence is more than the absence of sound; it is a search for the absence of the unspoken.

This project was created alongside the performance One moves, the other doesn’t by Fyllenia Grigoriou and Anton Lambert, during the residency Dancing on the edge of the Etna at The White Garage in Catania, Sicily.
