“He loves a bodiless dream” is an edited-in-camera Super8 200T film set in Gavdos, a small island southern of Crete. Gavdos has become a place of quiescence for me since 2018. This film is an intimate portrait of Andrew in Sarakiniko, on our final day, using the only remaining light which amongst other things, flatters the Cretan mountains in the horizon.

“While he desires to quench his thirst, a different thirst is created. While he drinks he is seized by the vision of his reflected form. He loves a bodiless dream. He thinks that a body, that is only a shadow."
