Swimming in qualia

Steve Jansen's twenty four minute track 'Ascent' written for the Shoko Ise installation 'Swimming in Qualia'. I can't be indifferent to this music.

It was a sunny day and I was listening to the album "Victorialand" by Cocteau Twins. Immediately the music inspired me for 3 posters. I wanted something colourful and warm, something happy and "feel the summer", like the music playing.

The Cave of Swimmers
Inspired by the movie "The English Patient" with a particular scene where the expedition discover swimming peoples in a cave. I imagined the time before all that dried. A beautiful "Atlantis", a place of pleasure where water was everywhere. Beauty, water and plentitude are the main words.

Heart is an Organ of Fire
I was so satisfied with my work, that I planned tryptic. In this image poetry is almost a declaration of love. The photos of the women are very sensual and the sand of their hands invite us.

Swoon, I'll catch you
Here the picture of the foot are a little blurred. Love is everywhere. It was important that I used the same Typo (Nuptial Script) for all the series and the same universe of water. The small white texte is an extract from the movie.

The Legend of Candaules
A few days later I made one more image poetry for the birthday of my sister. My work was done, but I did not want to leave The Cave of Swimmers. I made this image with other colours. In that fact The Legend of Candaules is attached to The Cave of Swimmers series but not completely.
