Surf Caribbean, Chapter III
Fragmented Caribe
Surf Caribbean by Primoz Zorko and Albert Folch and Fran Torres, Chapter III
There was nothing to record, no reality to show objectively. We felt part of a fragmented and diverse reality and strange moments. As if we could never grasp the bigger picture. We felt like we were living an otherworldly experience. Everything was different for all of us on this journey: Even in the early morning, gazing at the waves from underneath the palm trees, the three of us were experiencing this place completely differently.
Like a spotlight fluttering in a dark room, we couldn’t experience it all at once. Every animated and unanimated thing we lay our eyes on had a meaning of its own. Every detail was overwhelming in its meaning. Every object came to life. We put the pieces together by filling up the voids with our imagination. A mosaic only makes sense when you can see the whole. We try to make sense of our travel by focusing on the smaller moments, those specific places, the enigmatic objects we found on our way.
Every color and fragment aim at forming something greater, but we could not make sense of every tiny part of this complex and brutal experience.
Even when things were overlooked or when they went unnoticed, they were still making part of our experience, shaping the tropical and contradictory place we were traveling across. Those two guys, that bucket, the corner of the street, the city, the islands, the Caribbean sea, the Americas: all things and situations, as isolated from the general context and position in space, had a different yet intriguing and mysterious flavour.
