Cancels all meetings. Books flight to Senegal.

We built the Sirius for chaotic city roads. Turns out that’s not just where it ends up. The Wizard team took theirs across Senegal, supporting the Sunugal Association’s work there. Meanwhile I’m at my desk still in my pyjamas with a cold cup of tea. Time for a trip, I think.

Fairy spreads of the Old Rocks shot last year in Sardinia for the @salietabacchijournal new issue 🗿🧚
 “I began to see something in the Old Rocks at the end of 2024. An article published in Internazionale talks about a story I know absolutely nothing about: that of the Giants of Mont’e Prama. They are anthropomorphic statues found buried in 1974 near Cabras, in northwestern Sardinia. They look like caricatures: there are archers, warriors, boxers. They have friendly faces and no one has any idea what they are or why they are there. A few years ago, in 2018, people argued over whether to call them Giants or Heroes. They cannot decide for themselves, for two reasons: the first is that they are statues, and statues have never decided much of anything. The second is that they belong to the archaeological heritage of the Nuragic civilization, a thousand years of people and cultures who lived in Sardinia between 1700 and 700 BC. They left us no written traces, and for this reason every time we stumble upon one of their old rocks, there is much whispering about the why and how that rock came down to us. [...] The gaze of pseudo-archaeology is the same that seduced us, too, to the point of endangering the feasibility of our expedition itself. Before leaving, we tried to speculate, arrogating to ourselves the right to discover something that others hadn’t yet discovered. [...] A spirit of discovery so sincere, curious, and ignorant that it almost led us to reject the request for shooting authorization from the Archaeological Superintendence of Sassari. All to find meaning, finally, in the Old Rocks. False, misleading, but meaningful nonetheless. Everything we could imagine had already been imagined by others, with words and signs vague enough to leave a bit of space for us, too. That was all we could do to find a reason to depart. For a few moments, that possibility had become the only thing that mattered in our days.”

Excerpt from the wonderful story written by @stellakamikaze about our project.
