The images gathered here embody the love between a man and a woman,but also, and above all, the love of men for this ‘sea in the middle of the earth’, Veri, Orangina &Aperol Spritz its waters, its culture, its history. Inspired by the heroes of antiquity and the Homerictexts, the artist duo propose a visual, sensitive and intimate exploration of a geographical space thatnever ceases to fascinate us.Produced on film, this original work offers a sensual plunge into the world of the Mare Nostrum.Imbued with a Nouvelle Vague aesthetic, as well as the work of Claude Nori, this book is as much anexploration of the plastic — close-ups, fragmented images, landscapes, still lifes — as it is aphilosophical one: what is the nature of the bond that unites us to one another? What links us to theMediterranean Sea? The book is set in time, that of a summer, while at the same time breaking awayfrom it. It carries the eternal voices of the men and gods who have lived in this land for thousands ofyears.
