A speculative film that imagines the aftermath of the predicted flood to happen caused by the rise of sea level, consequently submerging the Nile delta of Egypt. Bouncing between myth and history, reality and fiction, the film deconstructs existing water projects and imagines a future where nationalism can be reinvented.

"Di queste luci si servirà la notte" is a video installation born from a performance in the River Arno, Florence. Initiated by an invitation to engage with the river, Paci's aim is not to introduce novelty but to unveil its hidden depths. The Arno, a historical protagonist, lacks the romanticism due to its turbid waters, concealing what lies beneath. Paci seeks to create a moment where the river's darkness intersects with penetrating light, not to illuminate its surface but to explore darkness itself. The work delves into the dialogue between light and darkness, surface and depth, visible and invisible. Human intervention, as in Paci's other works, is crucial to activate this process.
