A moving underwater dance performance by French writer, dancer and director Julie Gaultier. She sez of it:

Ama is a silent film. It tells a story everyone can interpret in their own way, based on their own experience. There is no imposition, only suggestions. I wanted to share my biggest pain in this life with this film. For this is not too crude, I covered it with grace. To make it not too heavy, I plunged it into the water. I dedicate this film to all the women of the world

His two hyperrealistic installations – The Rubicon, an assembly of 35 figures walking toward the great unknown, blind of staring down at their devices and The Raft of Lampedusa, a reference to collective responsibility and the ongoing Syrian humanitarian crisis.

An eyeball and earhole pleasing underwater macro short filmed at the Lambeh Straits in Indonesia, of which photographer Kay Burn Lim sez:

Most of the creatures shown ranged from the size of a grain of rice to perhaps 2 inches at most. (With the exception of the moray eel and puffer fish). The red “Orang Utan” crab displaying monkey like behaviour was actually residing in a Coca Cola bottle cap. The yellow hairy shrimp after that was barely 4mm tall!

The Grand Canal near Robertstown, Co Kildare.

 I shot this near Roberstown but I can’t give the exact location because people might destroy the spot. Those who love fishing can try right in Roberstown harbour. It’s always full of fish (and there is a Garda station right on the shore so I’m not worried to tell about that particular spot :). No attractants used, it’s a seasonal event.
The Royal Canal is not so clear unfortunately..

 

Victor used a Canon HF S10 + Equinox HD-6 case.
