Diving is the aquatic version of air floating. The great Italian experimental filmmaker presents us with one of his brief film essays on the bodies that enter the water after a fleeting flight without knowing what awaits them in the depths. A fixed photo combined with waves of water, a mirror effect, solarised and overlapping jumps, everything is valid in the Gioli collage. If diving and flying are synonyms, drowning can be a fatal fall. However, nothing denies the beauty of a winged body suspended in the air like a dagger that threatens the water.
