SUBMISSION

*Submission* is a sensory immersion that overwhelms the viewer, drawing them into a hypnotic experience where the sea is not only the subject, but also an active force, a living and autonomous entity. The video, shot with an “abandoned” camera, takes an unarmed, uncontrolled point of view, as if the sea itself were directing the shot, dictating the tempo, generating the vision. This gaze at the mercy of the waves returns an unstable, almost organic image, in which the distinction between the human eye and the machine becomes uncertain.

The rhythmically irregular editing is relentless and disorienting, reflecting the unpredictability of the sea's motion. At times it slows down, then accelerates in sudden jolts, creating a sense of vertigo that prevents the viewer from grasping any narrative or contemplative foothold. The dense and bewildering sound amplifies this instability: it does not accompany the images, it besieges them. The roar of the waves, the distorted echo, the bass vibrating in the stomach, all contribute to an immersion that is both physical and mental, a sensory submission.

*Submission* does not offer a privileged point of view, nor does it seek harmony or the reassuring beauty of the seascape. On the contrary, it questions our relationship with nature and technology, confronting us with the otherness of the world, its indifference. By leaving the camera “abandoned”, the artist relinquishes control and invites us to do the same: to trust, to surrender, to let ourselves be overwhelmed.

In this abandonment, the profound meaning of the work is fulfilled: *submission* not as defeat, but as an opportunity to redefine our relationship with image, sound and time. We are no longer spectators, but bodies involved in a flow that exceeds us.
