Not a book. A notebook, a stream of thoughts, emotions, quotations from the great works of sea fiction, black and white photos of young sailors on board, all to tell us how the sea affects people’s lives and changes their perspective, even in the most ordinary aspects of life.
Floating, breathing, seeing, listening, talking, sniffing, touching, sleeping, drinking, eating, dressing, departing, arriving, walking, living: primary acts that mark the difference between a dry life or one splashed by salt water.
The Notebook for Seafarers is a prompt to sea life and an unapologetically passionate thesis on the primacy of salt water.
Curated by Floriana Cavallo.
Graphic design Marco Boldrini.
Printed on paper made from recycled algae and paper produced with 15% lavender processing residues replacing tree cellulose.
