Concept

Islet constitutes a sea-performance for camera, an ephemeral in-sea event where the artist transmits through light signals based on International Morse Code his message ‘what is hidden needs to be seen’ (artist, 2021). The luminous gestural performance takes place on a floating boat in the sea while light signals are intermittently guided towards coast. Georges-Didi Huberman in his book Survival of the Fireflies refers to the fireflies as poetic and political light units where their pale and instant light contrasts the great light beams. Intermittence through disappearance and re-appearance becomes a process with intention towards an encoded message which performs itself. Luminous event becomes a gestural islet of communication; a silent action which intents to remind, to hope, to play, to become a lighthouse for the other.
