Commissioned for the 2018 Biennale de l'Image en Mouvement, Eduardo Williamsv's (The Human Surge) latest immersive work uses 360-degree camerawork to explore the rhythmic, discursive language of Mariano Blatt's poem "No es" against the perpetually moving people of Guinea-Bissau.

"No es" is a cumulative poem, still being written, that has the duration of a lifetime. The text of the poem, with verses that add up over days, months, years, can cover everything: images, people, memories, landscapes, sentences, ideas, etc. With this list of what seems but does not sound, Parsi is a perpetual movement in which people and spaces create another poem that caresses, collides and turns with "It is not".
