Escapista

Breathe
Your inner world must be immune to the noise outside.
Meditation is an act of courage.
It takes courage to pause in a world that moves at a thousand miles an hour.
To close your eyes, leave the world outside, and simply observe.
Meditation is the lighthouse that illuminates the darkness of chaos and shows us things as they truly are.

Standing at the edge of something we still don’t have a name for.

Places.

Where nature asks something of you
to slow down,
to look up,
to breathe,
to stay.

Sometimes, the world becomes more vivid.
You stop thinking about where you came from or where you are going.

You are simply there — fully present, aware of the moment, the world, and yourself.

A deep breath is not a pause from life. It is a way of entering it more fully.

Escapista invites you to move through the world this way: open, curious, alive.

A deep breath.
And suddenly, you are here.

Escapista’s new drop is out now.

Starring Mario Milana, furniture designer.

DIARY OF AN ESCAPISTA — Giulio Rimondi
When a journey becomes a work of art.

IV — THE WORK

45°28′N · 9°11′E

“Some journeys come to an end. Others ask to continue.”

— Giulio Rimondi, Notes of an Escapist

After the trials, the attempts, the imperfections, the journey finally finds its form.

A print, at last complete: the sea once crossed becomes a sea to contemplate. What was once a course, then a gaze, then a material process, now hangs quietly on a wall. Those who pass by have no idea how many miles, how much light, and how many discarded sheets lie behind that blue.

“Since departure, it has been one single day lasting 600 hours and 21 minutes.”

But a work of art is never the final destination.

It is the moment when the journey changes form once again: it no longer belongs to the one who made it, but to the one who stands before it.

Giulio Rimondi is an artist, humanist photographer, and sailor. When he’s ashore, he lives on Agistri, a small Greek island. For years, he has sailed the world’s oceans, pursuing an artistic research project on climate change between the Arctic and Antarctica.

Together with Escapista, he began a correspondence to tell a story that is rarely seen: how a journey slowly transforms into a work of art. A chance to follow an artist’s creative process, from lived experience to its final form.

“Poetry is trust. Travel is trust.
My passion for travel runs deep; it goes back a long way. Even before I had words, I understood that everything is in motion, that the world is a place full of things waiting to be discovered, and that it was up to me to explore it, to go.”

“La poesia è fiducia. Viaggiare è fiducia.
La mia passione per il viaggio è larga, antica. Prima ancora delle parole compresi che è tutto in movimento, che il mondo è un posto pieno di cose e che spettava a me esplorarlo, andare.”

III — THE MATERIAL

37°43′N · 23°21′E

“The Aegean sun exposes the paper. Arctic ice exposes those who cross it.”

— Giulio Rimondi, Notes of an Escapist

The journey continues in the garden.

A sheet of paper, a pane of glass, four clothespins, and the midday sun striking a white wall. It seems like very little to bring the Arctic back to the surface. Yet it is all that is needed.

Cyanotype demands patience and surrender. The light does the work on its own; all we can do is give it time and accept whatever it decides. The first attempts become overexposed. They refuse to obey. And that is perfectly fine. Every imperfect print is a note—a trial that teaches something to the next. It tells the story of the search, not the result.

Meanwhile, something both strange and deeply fitting takes place: the northern ice reappears in blue on a Greek island.

Two ends of the world, meeting on the same sheet of paper.

Today’s sun develops yesterday’s memory.
