LIVING WATER

Poetry film created in collaboration with AI tools, part live action film, part performative machinima, set in a 3D environment that combines both scanned real objects and phygital avatars.
“Living water” in Slavic myths is water that can bring the dead back to life and must be extracted from beyond the sea.
In some myths, “dead water” can also be used to heal the wounds of a corpse, while “living water” is subsequently used to revive it. Filmed in the thermal spa resort of Methana in Greece, to play with the idea of thermal baths as the embodiment of the healing power of water - and to meditate on what happens when a place formerly dedicated to healing loses its relevance.
