Sometimes I wonder; Do I paint my own retina to fall asleep - and wake up - to...?

"When the soul wishes to experience something she throws an image of the experience out before her and enters into her own image."

Det er den draumen - It is That Dream - C'est le rĂªve - Migrants Matter

 


This video was made for 'Migrants Matter', - United Nations Convention, 25th Aniversary, Dec. 18th 2015
Based on 'It is That Dream' - Det er den draumen - by Olav H. Hauge (Norwegian poet); When also the book 'Illustrate Our Rights' was launched.
My videos are simple - straightforward - my goal is always to be Poetic; combining my paintings with poetry and music.
And so - I am very proud of this video;
it includes Olav H. Hauge reading his own poem (archive; permission given by Bodil Cappelen)
It includes also Francois Monnet reading his authorized translation of Hauge's poem.
And it includes Nicky Bendix' music, composed expecially for this sound track.
I always use my own paintings.
I hope this presentation of poem/text and images/paintings will be a Positive contribution!
