In the sequences taken from the stills of one video of underwater that captures the bathing of two ordinary and hardly identifiable people in the sea, the sense of precariousness in temporal perception is highlighted: how can the duration of an event be qualified or quantified, of a more or less long moment of our existence in relation to our experience? How and to what extent does the duration of things condition their very manifestation? What chance do we have until our life dies out? Since the meeting point between life and non-life is irremediable, how much importance can and must have a fraction of a second with respect to the minute, hours, months and years?
