Synopsis

Two seas appear side by side, one reflecting the colors of sunrise and the other those of sunset. Their surfaces are mirrored horizontally, gradually moving apart. As they separate, the shared horizon dissolves, giving way to a new, artificial white horizon. This visual transformation unfolds over five minutes, presenting a stark contrast between the two times of day. The film, released in 2013, invites reflection on the relationship between nature and artificiality.
