Summer Programme: Deep Navigators

A man walks away into the distance, his figure disappearing into the haze. His movements are tempered by weightlessness but his aim undeterred by the fish that shoal around him. Two swimmers attempt the crossing of a dangerous deep water bay. At risk of losing sight of each other, they keep in conversation via phone, each asking the other questions about how far they have come and how far they still have to go. A woman communicates underwater with her hands, the water stilling her voice, while above an old fisherwoman takes her boat out on the morning tide before the sun has burnt the chill away. She will bring in what little catch there is, yet today is a different day because as her little boat steers carefully around the rocky coast, the GPS receiver she is carrying sketches her watery trail for those left behind on shore.

While a tottering wooden house sails into the sunset over an Adriatic horizon, Trampoline brings to a close its artists’ residency at Sub-Art, Croatia – the fourth event in the Tracing Mobility series.
