The Thread of Water - Julie Patarin-Jossec

"The Thread of Water" is a reflexive wandering in the depths of the Mediterranean sea. The photographs investigate the

colonial politics of the underseas through the eeriness of subaquatic weightlessness and light contrasts: artifacts and bodies

are altered, if not disincarnated, in undefined waterscapes that build a narrative of dispossession and perdition. From digital

to analog photography, including thermal imagery, the collection curated for this book questions how movement can

transcend landscapes to embrace affect. But, more than anything, "The Thread of Water" is an intimate narrative about

trauma and queerness that navigates different forms of storytelling (photographs, drawings, poetry, fieldwork notes) to

explore the in-betweens, the coexistent multiplicities, and the pervasiveness of liberatory praxis.
