This film is an act of celebration ... He produces -- with light and colour, sound, stillness and movement -- the ineluctable rhythm and energy of the natural world.

the various structures that humans have forced upon society itself become its own form of chaos. We travel around different forms of nature bombarded by readings, poems, quotes, math, or in other words language. The audio somehow perfectly matches how the visuals are changing and morphing. we start off trying to understand, but as the visuals get faster and faster, the only things you can get from it are death and disease. As the film ends, the visuals calm like a pond after a storm, and the audio changes from an agglomeration of death to a recovery. This was so much fun to watch, it felt like I should be looking away, but it's just too dense not to. There's just so much happening and so much information in your face, you can't help but try to understand. But maybe that's some of the point, the language that we use will eventually be our downfall, but with everything around us, you need to try and grasp just a little of what's out there. low key my eyes kinda hurt now lmao

Do not move Let the wind speak that is paradise.Let the gods forgive what I have madeLet those I love try to forgive what I have made.So dense I couldn’t help but get warped into Elder’s world. Hard to pin down what I exactly connected with but what Elder does with overlapping text on image and voice over on top of that is incredible

A heavy weight of not knowing and that feeling of anxiety. Felt like an experience more than a viewing.
