I stirred the sea to see if it was alive, 2019

single channel video 5min and 45sec

Edition of 3 and 2AP

Filmed by Jamieson Moore, Composition and south design by Timothy Mcphee 

The film work ‘I Stirred the Sea to See if it was Alive’ is a work permeating, perpetual movement and sound in an attempt to reach beyond the real. Using the ocean as a metaphor for the endlessness within the human self, Consalvo asks: you have a dream, and you wake and it’s not real… why is it called poetry and not just life?
