Peripheral vision is a window for the imagination, where phantoms pose the questions that give them substance. Do we follow, or do we insist that we must awake from the dream? Losing sight of what is always just out of reach fuels the desire to seek — in our doubt and intrigue, we find a quest. But if
the object of desire does not desire to be found, a quest becomes a hunt. The Sorceress of the Sea
lives somewhere in between, in traces of light and shadow; her desire to be found mirrors her desire
to be left alone. She will always exist in the corner of our eye, between truth and fiction, where
above meets below. In our dreams, we may take a step backward, retrace our footsteps, reverse the
concave impressions in the sand, and yet we are still left with the memory of our quest although all
evidence is lost at sea.
‘La Sorciere’ is an audiovisual installation that uses raw video footage and field recordings from the
Île d’Oléron in France transformed to create an all-around sound environment with visual
momentum. The question of the actual existence of the sea witch, fueled by traces of mysterious
objects and sounds, becomes secondary to the journey we find as we continually lose sight of the
dream. It is a lesson in losing oneself in order to find the processes that inspire us to go forth.
