AMPHIBIOUS

Titled “Amphibious” which is a concept we are developing (like Land Mark, Ciclonismo, [en]tropics, etc...), the video is shot above the water and traces the path of a group of turtles.Amphibious is an interesting word to us. Its etymology (amphi: both + bios: lives) means of a mixed or twofold nature. Its most commonly understood biological definition means “able to live both on land and in water”. It is also linked to military practices- i.e amphibious operations. But also,we are interested in its monstrous philosophical potential. Something un-measurable that exists in more than one realm or form and achieves this through precise enactments or through a very sophisticated internal constitution. In this way, we see amphibious as a productive counter-concept to the more problematic term “ambiguous” – in its currently exhausted state.
