In late 2011 I arrived to Sete Cidades (Azores). I recall Kantʼs ideas on the sublime. He argues that the sublime is what is ?absolutely great?. It gives us the comprehension of the body previous to the mathematic measure. Here the aesthetic measure (measured by the body) achieves its greatest power. The sublime takes place when the human measure is overcome. i.e. when the body experiments the idea of being hit by an imaginary mountain. To experience the sublime: sensibility, a body, being a human and being limited are necessary. Attempting to film the landscape, I realized that I could intellectually preconceive the sublime but I couldnʼt feel it. Was it a lack of sensibility?
