The Sailor

Synopsis: 

A voice-over tells the story of a sailor that dreams of a homeland he has never had; day after day the sailor constructs his new native land shaping it to his imagination. Inspired by Fernado Pessoa's static drama 'The Mariner' the video deals with the notion of what each of us addresses as home and foreign and at the same time with issues related to language and its translation.Playing with the perception of who is watching, confusing it and mixing it, whilst images of landscapes trick the eyes of the viewer creating shadow play illusions, the female voice speaks Na'vi, an invented language artificially created upon commission for the movie Avatar.Like a second voice, the subtitles suggest a relation established among words, images and imagination.
