The video of Elisabetta Benassi (1966, Rome) was filmed near the Italian coastal town, Latina, where Aeneas once set foot on land. On 4 October 2010, a group of one hundred refugees leave the boat and set foot on the mainland. Nobody turns the engines off, making the boot look like a kind of ghost ship that keeps boring its way deeper into the coastline.
Her Ships And Still More Ships – a piece about the historical, Afro- American shipping company, Black Star Line – can be seen in Mu.ZEE as well.
