"The Thread of Water" is a reflexive wandering in the depths of the Mediterranean sea. The photographs investigate thecolonial politics of the underseas through the eeriness of subaquatic weightlessness and light contrasts: artifacts and bodiesare altered, if not disincarnated, in undefined waterscapes that build a narrative of dispossession and perdition. From digitalto analog photography, including thermal imagery, the collection curated for this book questions how movement cantranscend landscapes to embrace affect. But, more than anything, "The Thread of Water" is an intimate narrative abouttrauma and queerness that navigates different forms of storytelling (photographs, drawings, poetry, fieldwork notes) toexplore the in-betweens, the coexistent multiplicities, and the pervasiveness of liberatory praxis.
