Swimming

Émilie Simon


I was swimming across the sky
Clouds and angels by my side
Then I realized that I was lonely
And it wasn't such a good thing

I was flying in paradise
In that ocean of dead lights
I was looking for your smile in the wind
But there was nobody there this morning

I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

Volcano

1min.

The elder from this land in Vanuatu says; we live with the volcanoes and we must respect them. If you do so, they´ll bring you good. But if you do evil, then they´ll be coleric. We live with the nature, for sure we can´t be surpised for what we have, because she gives to us. It´s during our youth when we learnt good and evil.



The Stromboli, also known as the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean, has been erupting nearly continuously for over 2000 years. The island of Stromboli is the tip of a massive underwater volcano, growing as the eruptions continue to pump out fresh lava.

In Your Eyes

There is a universe in your eyes.
Mathematical curves, ellipses, fractal contours in the iris.

Emotion: love, understanding. Reflections of your surroundings.

Ten thousand lights, reflections of reflections, even a reflection of me.
A universe in your eyes, and all on the surface.

Then there are the depths.

In Albert Einstein's words; the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.

Flow of Time

The objective world simply is, it does not happen. Only to the gaze of my consciousness, crawling upward along the life line of my body, does a certain section of this world come to life as a fleeting image in space which continuously changes in time.

Gaia

Many mythologies had a view of Earth as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. 'Gaia' concept draws a connection between survivability of species. It proposes that biosphere and their physical components are closely integrated to form a complex interacting system that maintains the climatic, chemical, physical, geological, and biological conditions on Earth.

'Baraka' is a word that means blessing in many different languages. This film, here embeded, features a number of long tracking shots through various settings without any dialogue. Instead of a story or plot, the movie uses themes and music to present new perspectives.
