Faro is a portrait of the lighthouse of Leuca (Italy), one of the last lighthouses in the south of the Mediterranean. The lighthouse illuminates the unknown, embraces the borders of the extreme lands. Casas portrays its spirit, its behaviour and its evocative power.

At the tip of Italy’s heel, lies la Vucca de lu puzzu, the gaping “mouth of the well”. Vucca (2016) is the intimate result of the artist’s field recordings inside the cave. Saline and pluvial water merge through an underwater tunnel, refracted sunlight challenges obscurity, while the rock stubbornly resists the passages of civilizations. The multilayered soundtrack and visuals echo the dizziness of the space.

A fleeing gangland flunky discovers the New York nest of Aztec deity Quetzalcoatl, the man-eating flying serpent.
