"the possibility of an island" is a narrative reflection on the collective experiences of 2020 - 2021, during the pandemic.

A small red boat in a small pool travels clockwise along the edge, fulfilling cycles, while a hidden round heavy rock hangs on it. In the background there are reflections of the sun light, in the form of turbulent waves. The sound contains different waiting-lines music, together with the announcement “Bitte haben Sie Geduld” (please have patience). Despite the sunny day, an unusual storm starts, one which consists small white stones with drawings of crowns. After the strong waves have passed, the rescue arises to the surface.

Exhibited at La Nef, Cantonale Berne Jura in 2021-22, CH,  Palazzo Costanzi Trieste “Peripheral Memories” in 2021, IT.

The Video was developed in the context of a remote residency in 2020-21 supported by IoDeposito, Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia and Cluster Mare FVG.
