In this installation, Julien Creuzet imagines the Atlantic Ocean as a vast space of memories. While the ocean is often seen as a place of beauty, it also carries the painful history of the transatlantic slave trade, during which countless enslaved people lost their lives. For the artist, the sea becomes a place where grief, resistance, and remembrance continue to flow together.

At the centre of the film is Zumbi dos Palmares, a seventeenth-century leader who fought against Portuguese colonial rule in Brazil and became a lasting symbol of freedom and resistance. Creuzet reclaims his name and image through the lens of Haitian Vodou, often stigmatised in popular culture as a death cult, but in fact centred on life, healing, and ancestral connection. Here, "Zumbi" represents not death, but vitality, memory, and life beyond death.

As Zumbi drifts through the Atlantic, images of toxic puffer fish and the datura flower evoke a space between life and death, reality and dream. Surrounding the film are seven cars wrapped in printed textiles. Still recognisable as machines, they also resemble mysterious sea creatures or ancient relics. Together, the video, sound, and sculptural installation create an imagined world where history, mythology, industry, and nature become inseparable, inviting us to reflect on the memories that continue to shape the present.
