La Passerella: Ways of Accessing The Sea

This essay was written for the publication As is the Sea, a collection of art criticism, cultural analysis and fiction. Started as collaboration with Philip Hoare – author of Leviathan, or The Whale (Samuel Johnson Prize, 2009) and The Sea Inside (2013) – the anthology shifts through the ocean's strata, descending page by page from the sunlit to the darkest abyss.

La Passerella: Ways of Accessing the Sea considers the sand on the shores of the Adriatic sea, the stick days of an Italian summer and a colourful footbridge with theatrical connotations – la passerella.
