Description
"Night Awake is an experimental noise film that provokes the awakening of the third eye (seeing what lies within, beyond the limits of symbols). By transforming the camera into a spiritual medium, the moon god transmitted messages in the interval of time. The film originates from the cemetery, and it is a fabric of death (ultimate transformation), which made lucid light shine in the depths of many dimensions.
To invoke the awakening of the third eye, one must not agitate the surface of the mind nor the physical eye, but soothe and provoke the third eye so that it awakens. In the interval of time, the flame of images that emerge and become eternity forms the rhythm and the word. The teachings received during my travels and in the green crystals. In distant mysteries, the half-rotten emulsion is the art of metaphysical connection and the path to awakening.
This film speaks a spiral language. It moves from one part of otherness to another. Sound is a dialogue, not just an emotional vibration. It is the energy that makes the image burst forth. The film has two parts; the second doubles the speed of the first."
