Description
The title of the project derives from the phrase "Lòt Bò Dlo", a kreyòl expression of the Haitian inhabitants, which stands for promise (of a better future) and peril (of Black Atlantic Ocean), hope and despair, seeking different answers on the other side of the water. This is the starting point of the project of Massimiliano Camellini, a four year period spent in the exploration of cargo vessels of different nationalities; he started also from the literary inspiration of the novel "Novecento" by Italian writer Alessandro Baricco: the novel tells the story of a sailor who decides that a life entirely spent on board, although far from the earth and from its 'guarantees', will be the best choice, always and forever
