Dario Laureano Rodrigues

The Land of water | video
photography / film

ADVISORY: nudity
Samothraki. With its diversity of landscapes and peaceful energy; its free camping, natural drinking water, natural springs and crystal pools. There I met Stefanos Efremidis. Stefanos is an artist who visited the island of Samothraki for the first time in 2006, two years after he lost his vision. Since then, the bold Presence of water around him, and the friendships that were created there, made him revisit the island every year. This is a spontaneous confession, of his feelings and thoughts to me, one summer night on the island.

I like to capture the spontaneity of the quotidian, create connection with other beings and create memories.
