How can water excavate marble? In search of a stable identity through the flow of existence, SOURCE was born.

This short film, performed and directed by Spain-based Italian artist Guido Sarli, captures the contrast between the human body and a travertine quarry. Such a space is natural but has been modified by mankind and somehow it is still looking for a new identity.

The film plays with time, and the possibility of altering its flow. The choreography of movements is built on the water, rocks, and the dancer’s body. While water and rocks tell their own story, the dancer inhabits the space of the quarry with lightness and respect – it has already been heavily affected by human intervention.

The collaborations with director of photography Tommaso Cassinis and composer Pablo Esbert Lilienfeld were a wonderful experience. Their cinematic and musical sensibilities worked in perfect harmony with the choreography, creating something deeper: the delicate balance of identity in motion.
