MANTRA

8'50"

A look in repetition. Contemplating, listening, allowing time, to understand the rhythms of a majestic territory. The images in this film were recorded in Ritoma, Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Gannan, at 3200m. They alternate between ground and sky: the eye becomes a foreign lighthouse seeking patterns, looking to comprehend the dialogues and animal tensions inhabiting a dilated space-time.
