The remains of a ship float in the distance on the ocean’s edge. The space and time that separates us from the abyss is reduced. Past and present merge. A man dances and laughs. Is it me? Is it us?

After the shipwreck, we look at the bottom of the jar for a story, a sound that can say something about who we are and what we are. Many miles from the shores of reason, music and words have met.

Electronic music is generated in front of the viewer through looping processes. The music is the sea, it is the sea monster, it is the thought of man in pursuit. He wants to explore the inaccessible depths of the ocean, beat together with a human heart, tell together with words.

We tell stories to overcome the fear of the night. We tell stories to feel that we are not alone. We tell stories to imagine, to build worlds and to take flight without breaking ground.

The story is the tale of the obsession of a man, Captain Ahab, and the hunt for the white whale on board the Pequod. Achab’s obsession with Moby Dick is our obsession with the tale of mystery.
