This book emerges from Grace Turn, a song from CECILIA’s album CHOEUR, and its haunting video counterpart filmed at the deserted Punta Tre Pietre hotel, once Gaddafi’s seized estate on the island of Pantelleria. A collection of stills and fragments, it captures the epitome of ghostly abandon, carried by the electro-acoustic harmonies of wonder and decay.
It reads like a devotional relic: shattered sequences of love, exile, and surrender, each page an existential choreography that carries music into silence, and silence into myth.
Moving under the open sky, both ruined and ornate, her body becomes a conduit for memory, private and historical, imagined and inherited. The song unfolds like a ritual, slow and pulsing, where voice, contrabass, and breath summon presences half-erased by time and salt.
