People do Water

Upcoming Solo Show at OPR Gallery, Milano | May 2024

People do water (2013-…) is a photographic archive of human beings in the moment when they join the sea, an observation of people mating with water. Hydrophilia is a term to indicate the property of an element to absorb and attract water and, at the same time, a sensual pleasure produced by physical contact with water or in relation to images of people immersed in water. This eco-sexual relation with the sea is an attempt to displace the margins between the body and the space around the body, the sea.
