38 Parallel North (2016)

All you will see is new , only the natural preserves almost unchanged its appearance . All that is generated by man has no more than a hundred years . 38 Parallel NORTH is a coordinated part , an undefined place on the 38th parallel north . It could be the border between North and South Korea , the scene of major conflicts in the post-war or Smyrna , the threshold of Turkey . It could be Athens . It could be San Francisco . The Strait of Messina is the protagonist . An invisible border of this parallel . Here nature has thrown at the man violently and catastrophic time it bears the signs . Messina , Sicily's port , rests his feet on a natural boundary , reminiscent to those who live there , that man is but a cell in the Earth system . The fracture , the wound that separates Sicily from mainland is pulsating , alive and rotting . The time for men to Messina sounds like a countdown .
