synopsis
The black-and-white video prayer stages a small miracle in the form of a minimalist one-shot study of a glass vase, water surface and light. It’s as if the hands, which regularly stir up the still life, are asking for more than the elements and the utilized technique can give.The name of the film is a quote from the book Les Grands Initiés from Édouard Schuré.
