You Look Good In Water is a short video project aiming at painting an incomplete portrait of characters of the sea. It is a research in movement and a love letter to the hand.

01

MANUEL

Manuel Pernão is a former football player now bartender, surfer and father dedicated to his craft and his family.

You can spot him on some of the prettiest rights of Cantinho da Bahia in Baleal, Portugal.

03

INES

Ines Catarinho is a former professional handball player, now maker of fine fabric based creations. You could say seamstress but that wouldn’t be painting the whole picture.

You will easily spot her in the sea surrounding Baleal with her dog Jane waiting for her patiently on the beach.

02

ERLIRA

Erlira Latifi is a multicultural and multidisciplinary artist. We focused here on her visual arts and bookbinding project but many know her as a dancer.

You might find her enjoying herself in the water or philosophizing by the beach.

04

MANEL

Manel Sousa is a master surfboard craftsman cultivating a focus on retro and experimental shapes. He is also a graphic artist and devoted father. You might get the chance to encounter him at an uncrowded peak. If not he will gladly inspire and enlighten you at his shaping shack between land and sea.
