【 摘 要 】

Sea silk is a refined material shimmering like gold that is made from a traditional technique of processing the fibers produced by a large Mediterranean mollusk called Pinna nobilis to settle on the ground. Invited by a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam who study the mechanical properties of byssus and the process of its transformation into sea silk, we follow one of the few Sardinian weavers still in practice, Chiara Vigo, who combines technical gestures and magical gestures. Her practice and the way we look at her operating modes in relation to scientific methods question our relationship to techniques, beliefs and sciences, and even to the very notion of reality.
