| The Small Clouds Crossing the Sky of the Soul ~ Adrien Sina 2007 |
| As in a
landscape, clouds cover and discover the sun, worries or peacefulness
cover and discover the sky of the soul, making perceptible variations
in expression of the face, when eyelids are closed... A mute exchange
takes place beyond words, beyond the gaze, in the heart of silence. The
temporality of this video is sweet and suspended... slowed down and
soundless. I simply asked children to think with closed eyes... a deep inner reality migrates from inside to the surface of the skin, making perceptible their pain or pleasure... imagination and dream... For a very short moment, the eyes are opened... on the final screen, the expression is no longer the same.... Beyond mere embodiment, the incarnation of mental universes, may we touch here a glimpse of anamnesis ? video 16/9, 01:41 min, Bamako (Mali), 2007 |
