In ancient China, instead of sketching, an artist meditated. For days, months, years - as long as it took - he would gaze at the object of his inspiration. The distinction between observer and object disappeared; the artist himself became the object, with skin and hair, scent, colour and form. This is also how this reflective film seeks to reach its audience. This cinematographic poem was made by filmmaker Pilz during a journey to Iran in 2006 and 2007. A travelogue through the eyes of a passionate filmmaker, with shots of everyday life and music by expressionist composer Morton Feldman and occasional background sounds - streaming water, throbbing cars and chirping sparrows. But there is also silence. Peace. A chance to think and experience. This meditative film allows the viewer to float on a pleasant rhythm, dictated by the maker with his balanced images, sound design and editing.
