Shot with stunning elegance and clarity, NAKED SPACES explores the rhythm and ritual of life in the rural environments of six West African countries: Mauritania, Mali, Burkino Faso, Togo, Benin and Senegal. The nonlinear structure of NAKED SPACES challenges the traditions of ethnographic filmmaking, while sensuous sights and sounds lead the viewer on a poetic journey to the most inaccessible parts of the African continent: the private interaction of people in their living spaces.
“Trinh’s images are as unpretentious as home movies…there are times in Naked Spaces when representation decom-poses into isolated details and pure sensation. More than a mosaic of impressions however, the film is nonlinear, de-centered, and deliberately unsettling.”
J. Hoberman Village Voice
“A narrative full of poetic pronouncements mourns the loss of traditions and argues that the word primitive is misapplied to tribal life.” Karen Jaehne Variety
“Breathtaking in their tactile beauty, the images seem to be edited in an almost intuitively associational process... the silences which punctuate the sound track are like another voice inviting us simply to look and look again.”Kay Armatage Toronto Festival of Festivals

What did I love?
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:05.300
here you
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.500
people of the Earth
00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:00.000
here
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:18.400
Not descriptive.
00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:20.300
not informative
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:21.900
Not interesting.
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:35.900
Sounds are bubbles on the surface of Silence.
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:06.900
here
00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:48.400
you are
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.900
it
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.500
untrue superstitious Supernatural
00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:55.900
the Civilized mind qualified many of the realities. It
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.900
does not understand untrue superstitious
00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:00.000
Supernatural.
00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:19.400
truth and fact
00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:21.600
naked and plain
00:05:27.700 --> 00:05:30.500
a wise Dogan man used to say to be
00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:32.000
naked is to be speechless.
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:34.500
truth or fact
00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:02.200
here
00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:07.600
the correct vibration
00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:12.300
A body resonates to music as does a
00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:12.400
string.
00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:17.800
A music that elicits physical response and
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.800
calls for mediated involvement.
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:22.900
It does not simply play.
00:07:23.900 --> 00:07:26.100
In such a way is not to impinge on
00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:26.500
the viewing.
00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:32.700
In African man wrote contrary to
00:07:32.700 --> 00:07:35.500
what some westerners think religion in Africa
00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:38.800
is not a cause for men stagnation nor a
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.800
source of inter territorial conflicts the more
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.600
profound the believer. The black man is the more
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.000
tolerant he proves to be wherever intolerance
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.700
occurs in Black territories. They are
00:07:50.700 --> 00:07:53.100
due to a cause introduced from the exterior.
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:07.500
here
00:08:46.900 --> 00:08:49.500
The circumcised young men beat time
00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:51.300
with a walking stick while chanting.
00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:54.000
They are holding in their hands.
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.200
femininity Water and Light
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.400

00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:11.900
Mortals with things.
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.200
They dwell in that they neither Master the Earth
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:17.200
nor subjugated.
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.800
They leave to the Sun and the Moon their journey and do
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:23.300
not turn night into day.
00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:27.700
They do not make their gods for themselves and do
00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:29.100
not worship idols.
00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:32.900
They initiate Mortals into the nature of death.
00:10:37.400 --> 00:10:40.700

the circle
00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.800
is the perfect form.
00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:20.300
You will
00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:23.400
never spread doubt in their mind by convincing them
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:26.700
of seeing. Yes when they already saw. No,
00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:29.200
when all what they perceived was a
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:30.700
Hut or a mud shelter.
00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:33.200
They went away the way they came.
00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:42.200
For many of us the hat is
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.500
the Taproot of the function of inhibiting.
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.300
A universe inside and outside the universe it
00:14:48.300 --> 00:14:51.900
possesses the Felicity of intense
00:14:51.900 --> 00:14:52.300
poverty.

00:16:58.300 --> 00:17:01.200
You ask me. What is the
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.500
use of these paintings?
00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:06.700
They helped the plans to grow they promote germination.
00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:28.200
Every illness is
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:29.500
a musical problem.
00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:35.600
Music has a magical energizing and creative power.
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.300
The mayor shaking of a cowbell is enough to
00:17:39.300 --> 00:17:43.000
make people drift into a state of excitement. It
00:17:42.100 --> 00:17:45.300
is then said that strength has
00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:46.200
entered them.
00:17:47.300 --> 00:17:50.400
Elders who can hardly move in Daily situation without
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.100
a cane would emit war cries and
00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:55.500
dance frantically to The Sound of Music.
00:17:56.700 --> 00:18:00.200
farmers who feel tired and lack enthusiasm will
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.600
be fired with desire to work
00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:05.200
in the fields upon hearing the drum beats or
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.200
the chance of The Masks, even if
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.400
you have eaten and are full a man said you have
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.900
no sustaining strength to plow the land vigorously and
00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:17.200
endure the hard work if no music
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:18.200
Flows In You
00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:24.000

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:35.900
here you
00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:59.300
you know you
00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:15.100
space
00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:17.700
even when close I feel distance.
00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:26.100
Whether a house
00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:29.600
is Lively or not depends on the way, it breeds
00:20:29.600 --> 00:20:32.300
houses and humans are both made
00:20:32.300 --> 00:20:34.200
out of small balls of Earth.
00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:05.400
music rests on a chord between
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.800
Darkness and Light
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.100
Listen in the wind to the
00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:31.500
bush-sabbing. It is our beloved dad\'s breathing.
00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:33.300
The dead are not dead.
00:21:50.300 --> 00:21:53.800
People of the Earth the reason two deer
00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:56.300
walked together is that one has to take the moat from
00:21:56.300 --> 00:21:57.200
the other\'s eye.
00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:06.500
a sense
00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:06.900
of time
00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:09.400
not only of hours and days.
00:22:10.100 --> 00:22:12.500
but also if decades and centuries
00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:16.300
a sense of space as light and void
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.700
space has always reduced me to silence.
00:22:34.100 --> 00:22:38.300
a space
00:22:38.300 --> 00:22:40.900
that speaks the melonis of inner life
00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:11.500
scantily furnished devoid of
00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.000
concealment or diskise
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.900
the truth appears so naked on my side that any
00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:19.800
purblind I may find it out.
00:23:42.300 --> 00:23:44.700
here you
00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:19.300
save money
00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:44.600
the house that breathe
00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:48.600
that encloses as well as opens wide
00:24:48.600 --> 00:24:49.300
onto the world.
00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:51.900
Put here.
00:25:12.600 --> 00:25:16.600
We often
00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:19.100
took our own limits for those of the culture
00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:19.800
we looked at.
00:25:27.300 --> 00:25:27.600

Here you all
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:24.700
definitions
00:27:24.700 --> 00:27:25.500
are devices.
00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.900
Yeah. Oh.
00:27:46.100 --> 00:27:47.900
oh and
00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:07.100

first and foremost a sensation
00:28:54.300 --> 00:28:56.700
Do you see the same color when the light is red?
00:29:24.300 --> 00:29:26.000
colors can blind
00:29:27.300 --> 00:29:30.000
some grayness has to remain for clarity to be.
00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:33.200
Nice colors are called Shades.
00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:42.700
Red attracts and irritates while bright
00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:44.100
yellow is bound to hurt.
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.800
In places where the sun does and wear sandscapes prevail.
00:29:49.300 --> 00:29:51.500
people dress in blue Deep Blue
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.000

pains soothe the pangs of bereavement calm
00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:07.900
anger and cleanse the mind.
00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:16.800
To explain
00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:19.800
this scornful lower lip of the camel more
00:31:19.800 --> 00:31:22.600
men have this to say the prophet has
00:31:22.600 --> 00:31:25.500
a hundred names men know 99
00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:28.500
of them. But only the camel knows the hundredth one
00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:31.700
hence, its Superior marabou-like expression.
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:10.600

They helped the plans to grow they promote
00:33:27.700 --> 00:33:28.300
germination.
00:33:53.500 --> 00:33:54.400
here you
00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:06.400
a long whale tore through the air

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.700
flowing behind her.
00:34:38.700 --> 00:34:41.100
As if for centuries she sat there.
00:34:42.100 --> 00:34:45.200
Instinctively failing her face as the man came
00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:47.900
in unveiling it as soon as they left.
00:35:03.600 --> 00:35:03.800
Would you?
00:35:21.600 --> 00:35:23.800
here you
00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:58.200

00:35:58.900 --> 00:36:01.400
Being in the in between of all definitions of
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:01.700
Truth.
00:36:20.300 --> 00:36:23.200
There was much covered peeping through the veils as we
00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:26.300
walked around looking carefully at the rooms and the details.
00:36:32.700 --> 00:36:34.000
caught each other looking
00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:36.400
She laughed and I left.
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.900
Soon all the women in the court were laughing together.
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.500
The earth is blue
00:37:33.500 --> 00:37:34.300
like an orange.
00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:42.500
Let Terry blue Camino Ranch Jamie naira

00:37:46.500 --> 00:37:49.800
air earth water light.
00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:22.400
Outside is as Bears inside his ornate.
00:38:56.100 --> 00:38:59.800
For 15 minutes, we stood in the street slightly off
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.500
the house door.
00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:03.000
Waiting until we were allowed in.
00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:06.100
Time for the man to inform the women to go
00:39:06.100 --> 00:39:09.500
back to their rooms and stay in there all the
00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:11.200
time while the visitors were present.
00:39:21.300 --> 00:39:24.200
How can you explain this excitement to live in an old
00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:24.500
house?
00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:28.100
One that ages with the imprints of previous lives.
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.900
The severe aspect of the exterior often stands
00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:55.300
in contrast with the exuberant decorations of
00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:56.200
the interior.
00:40:21.300 --> 00:40:28.900
Oh you she steps
00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:30.100
into my room abruptly.
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.400
Stood there staring at me intently. I stare
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.700
back at her questioningly, but she
00:40:36.700 --> 00:40:37.600
remained silent.
00:40:38.700 --> 00:40:41.500
For a long time we stared at each other without a
00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:41.700
word.
00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:46.600
There was more fear in her eyes than curiosity. She
00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:48.600
turned away a few seconds then look
00:40:48.600 --> 00:40:51.800
back straight into my eyes and said oil. I
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:53.100
want some oil for cooking.
00:40:57.300 --> 00:40:59.700
walk down the empty narrow streets
00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:02.900
and thought for a while. I was truly alone.
00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:06.700
I was soon to discover blinded walls
00:41:06.700 --> 00:41:07.100
had eyes.
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.200
Gigglings and laughter spurted out around
00:41:10.200 --> 00:41:13.400
me as I stopped and looked carefully at
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:16.500
the faces that swiftly appear and disappear from
00:41:16.500 --> 00:41:18.400
the discrete openings on the walls.
00:41:19.100 --> 00:41:22.000
Or above Me From the Terrace roofs of the
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:22.400
houses.
00:41:23.300 --> 00:41:25.500
women unveil mostly Young
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.900
or share the look of intense curiosity.
00:41:34.700 --> 00:41:41.700
You are
00:41:40.700 --> 00:41:46.200
not.
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.100
You here?
00:42:48.700 --> 00:42:49.800
Snow White
00:43:17.500 --> 00:43:20.400
The world is round around the round
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:20.800
being.
00:43:26.700 --> 00:43:28.900
Religion is living without conflict.
00:43:31.200 --> 00:43:31.800
entering the
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:32.800
womb the Earth
00:43:33.300 --> 00:43:36.300
sheltered from heat and Sun from rain and
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.000
from all other living creatures
00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:21.500
The Earth
00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:24.800
is round. We all know that no part
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:27.700
is longer than the other when we enter we
00:44:27.700 --> 00:44:30.500
enter the mouth the door when we exit
00:44:30.500 --> 00:44:33.400
we step out onto a large Calabash the
00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:37.000
court. We call it the Vault of Heaven the
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.400
house opens onto the sky in a
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:39.900
perfect circle.
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:54.000
You are

relate to each other.

00:47:20.600 --> 00:47:22.100

The people who create well with Earth the people
00:47:25.600 --> 00:47:28.700

00:47:31.500 --> 00:47:32.500
tribute to the Dead
00:47:36.600 --> 00:47:38.600
that I
00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:48.200
say the placement of the house is that which is
00:47:48.200 --> 00:47:52.700
important a house
00:47:52.700 --> 00:47:55.000
is beautiful when it\'s back is not coming out.
00:47:59.300 --> 00:48:02.400
Not too high, not too low not too far
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:05.800
outside. No too far inside. His house
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.100
is really smooth. He knows how to
00:48:08.100 --> 00:48:10.900
build. He does not leave his finger marks.
00:48:18.200 --> 00:48:21.400
House is Cosmos the ground
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:24.900
level of the house interior is the Underworld
00:48:24.900 --> 00:48:27.700
the Terrace level is the earth and the

on the front facade make the house.
00:48:36.300 --> 00:49:06.900
Look. Well. The cosmic
00:49:06.900 --> 00:49:10.800
house is both still and World each dweller
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:13.200
inhabits the universe while the universe
00:49:13.200 --> 00:49:14.600
inhabits her space.
00:49:15.200 --> 00:49:21.000
You are
00:49:19.600 --> 00:49:28.900
dark and
00:49:28.900 --> 00:49:31.300
cool red like the sun.
00:49:41.900 --> 00:49:49.500
and true
00:49:48.500 --> 00:49:51.500
superstitious Supernatural
00:49:54.200 --> 00:49:57.600
As the sun descends its raise enter
00:49:57.600 --> 00:49:59.900
the cattle room and touch the ancestors.
00:50:00.700 --> 00:50:03.300
Speaking to them while they ask for health and
00:50:03.300 --> 00:50:04.500
protection of the family.
00:50:31.600 --> 00:50:35.600
here
00:50:51.300 --> 00:50:53.100
the tambamma house is a sanctuary.
00:50:59.300 --> 00:51:02.500
These mountains are for the Sun for the reproduction of
00:51:02.500 --> 00:51:04.900
human beings and the expansion of the family.
00:51:06.200 --> 00:51:09.500
The horns of the entrance and the Mounds of the focus
00:51:09.500 --> 00:51:10.900
for sun ceremonies.
00:51:51.100 --> 00:51:54.900
Upon entering we step into a Samba Central room where
00:51:54.900 --> 00:51:57.300
I could smell and hear a cow munching on
00:51:57.300 --> 00:51:57.700
my left.
00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:01.400
We then climb up to the tiny oval kitchen
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:04.500
lit by the south Morning Light that came
00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:07.900
in from the upper portal leading to the Terrace roof
00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:08.200
of the house.
00:52:09.600 --> 00:52:17.800
And you she who
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:20.400

00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.300
portray the deceased\'s daughter.
00:53:05.900 --> 00:53:05.900
here
00:53:16.600 --> 00:53:33.900
Here you third

00:53:36.600 --> 00:53:40.700
Funeral performance is our referred to as Place The

critical audience flutes and
00:54:01.300 --> 00:54:03.600
horns are the voice of the ancestors.
00:54:05.700 --> 00:54:10.500
Son\'s houses
00:54:10.500 --> 00:54:17.100
a circle. This is what we\'ve been told Sun protects
00:54:16.100 --> 00:54:19.800
us all like mother it brings

wives the Earth and the Moon it is
00:54:29.100 --> 00:54:32.300
beautiful because his fingers leave lines and his
00:54:32.300 --> 00:54:35.100
lines are visible if the woman
00:54:35.100 --> 00:54:38.500
plasters the walls such that from far away.
00:54:38.500 --> 00:54:41.400
You don\'t see the different levels. We say
00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:46.000
the house is beautiful. The egg
00:54:45.300 --> 00:54:48.400
shaped granburys are raised Above
00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:51.700
The Terrace at the house front Corners closest to
00:54:51.700 --> 00:54:54.500
the sky. They\'re opening facing the
00:54:54.500 --> 00:54:57.300
sky God who provides rain for the
00:54:57.300 --> 00:55:00.500
brain when you climb it. It leads you
00:55:00.500 --> 00:55:01.000
to the sky.
00:55:02.600 --> 00:55:05.600
Sky is like a tree. It is formed from the branches of
00:55:05.600 --> 00:55:06.600
a huge tree.
00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:39.400
people of the Earth
00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:44.400
The more profound a Believer the black man
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:47.200
is the more tolerant he proves to be.
00:55:55.600 --> 00:55:59.600
In one
00:55:59.600 --> 00:56:02.500
of the rights of initiation during which a man
00:56:02.500 --> 00:56:03.900
is born again in his community.
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:06.800
The initiate has to go naked.
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:09.500
his buddy painted with red Earth
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:11.900
color of the newly born
00:56:20.100 --> 00:56:25.800
the world
00:56:44.300 --> 00:56:44.900
What are you?
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:14.800
really enjo
00:57:20.500 --> 00:57:23.900
A village that neglects music and dancing is
00:57:23.900 --> 00:57:24.800
a dead Village.
00:57:27.600 --> 00:57:27.900
red
00:57:28.900 --> 00:57:31.400
a warm Limitless color that often
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:32.800
acts as a sign of life
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:35.200
black
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:38.500
An absence of light of sun.
00:57:39.100 --> 00:57:40.900
therefore of Life color
00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:44.300
in many parts of the world white is
00:57:44.300 --> 00:57:45.400
the color of mourning.
00:57:58.900 --> 00:58:03.000
truth or
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:03.300
fact
00:58:04.300 --> 00:58:05.400
poetry or history
00:58:06.500 --> 00:58:09.300
poetry becomes only poetry when I
00:58:09.300 --> 00:58:12.200
become Adept at consuming truth as fact.
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:30.500
The house like a woman must have secret parts
00:58:30.500 --> 00:58:32.000
to inspire desire.
00:58:32.700 --> 00:58:36.700
Unadorn she is not desirable adornment excites
00:58:36.700 --> 00:58:36.800
love.
00:58:37.500 --> 00:58:40.100
If there is a connection between ornaments and
00:58:40.100 --> 00:58:43.800
love that is because the first ornaments of all were
00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:46.600
in the center jaw of the celestial Granary.
00:58:47.200 --> 00:58:50.700
And that jar is a symbol of the world\'s womb?
00:59:03.300 --> 00:59:08.300
here
00:59:13.500 --> 00:59:21.100
in certain
00:59:20.100 --> 00:59:23.600
societies will sounds have become letters with
00:59:23.600 --> 00:59:24.800
Sharps and flats.
00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:28.500
Those unfortunate enough not to fit into these letters
00:59:28.500 --> 00:59:31.500
are tussed out of the system and qualified and
00:59:31.500 --> 00:59:35.400
musical. They are called noises. It
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.700
is known that one of the primary tasks of
00:59:37.700 --> 00:59:40.300
is no musicologists is to study what
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:43.700
traditional societies consider music and what
00:59:43.700 --> 00:59:46.400
they reject is non music a music bound
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:50.300
up with Movement Dance and speech one in
00:59:50.300 --> 00:59:52.300
which the listener becomes a co-performer.
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:57.000
One that has no overall form except one
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.300
of continually recurring sequences of
00:59:59.300 --> 01:00:02.700
notes and rhythms one that plays endlessly
01:00:02.700 --> 01:00:05.200
for nobody has enough of life
01:00:05.200 --> 01:00:08.900
has been repeatedly called Elemental or rudimentary.
01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:12.600
Is irritable to most westerners ears.
01:00:22.600 --> 01:00:26.100
the sound
01:00:25.100 --> 01:00:28.200
of a swelling Cry of ulation
01:00:29.600 --> 01:00:33.100
That high whale that speaks her Joy excitement or
01:00:32.100 --> 01:00:33.400
grief.
01:00:38.500 --> 01:00:40.300
I am inhabited by a cry.
01:00:41.900 --> 01:00:43.500
Joy sorrow anger it cures out.
01:00:44.300 --> 01:00:45.900
sharp and Vivid in the night
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:48.000
in humanly human
01:00:48.700 --> 01:00:51.000
the cry I hear she said is from the
01:00:51.200 --> 01:00:52.100
other side of life.
01:00:54.700 --> 01:00:57.300
Deeper Insight always entails moments of
01:00:57.300 --> 01:00:58.000
blindness.
01:01:17.200 --> 01:01:19.500
You are right.
01:01:23.100 --> 01:01:26.600
here
01:01:30.300 --> 01:01:32.200
right now you gonna do it again?
01:01:33.200 --> 01:01:35.100
Right now is this one right here again?
01:02:00.700 --> 01:02:02.600
hot water good
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:14.400
ing step into the footmarks of your ancestors tradition
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:16.600
May weaken, but cannot disappear
01:02:16.600 --> 01:02:18.400
Logan prayer.
01:03:28.100 --> 01:03:31.400
Scale is
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:33.900
an element to impress to dominate.
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:37.300
or to speak up a mutual vulnerability
01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:19.700
A journey in these Villages may have a cathartic
01:04:19.700 --> 01:04:19.900
effect.
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:24.100
For a man seeing a hundred story building often
01:04:23.100 --> 01:04:24.900
gets conceited.
01:04:28.300 --> 01:04:31.200
There is also a way of viewing nature as a challenge
01:04:31.200 --> 01:04:32.400
to man\'s Conquest.
01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:36.400
Therefore of seeing in the smallness of men and women
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:38.400
a need for improvement.
01:04:50.100 --> 01:04:53.400
Ogle the
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:55.500
first who stood against God Amma.
01:04:56.300 --> 01:04:59.100
And introduce psychological diversification in the
01:04:59.100 --> 01:05:02.400
universe was transformed into a fox and
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:05.500
thus reduced to speaking only with its paws on
01:05:05.500 --> 01:05:06.900
the Divination tables.
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:49.500
The figures
01:05:49.500 --> 01:05:52.400
are drawn on the smooth Sand by the diviners Before
01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:53.100
Sunset.
01:05:54.200 --> 01:05:57.700
The fox which comes out at night is lured onto
01:05:57.700 --> 01:06:00.300
the tables by means of peanuts, which the
01:06:00.300 --> 01:06:02.500
Divine is have carefully scattered over them.
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:07.000
The next day the diviners will come back to the
01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:10.400
site after Sunrise to read the traces left
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:11.100
by the fox.
01:06:12.700 --> 01:06:15.400
Their interpretations vary according to the letters
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:19.000
itinerary whose imprints may join border
01:06:18.200 --> 01:06:20.400
or avoid the figures.
01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:24.700
The Divination table is the Earth turning under
01:06:24.700 --> 01:06:26.400
the action of the fox\'s legs.
01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:07.900
The Divination table is the Earth turning onto
01:07:07.900 --> 01:07:10.000
the action of the fox\'s legs.
01:08:04.500 --> 01:08:07.500
How very much contained Emma to lay
01:08:07.500 --> 01:08:10.500
low to cling to the soil to be of kin
01:08:10.500 --> 01:08:11.300
to the Sun?
01:08:12.100 --> 01:08:15.400
My soul squirms comfortably in the soil and sand
01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:16.200
and is happy.
01:08:17.200 --> 01:08:20.700
Sometimes when one is drunk with this Earth One Spirit
01:08:20.700 --> 01:08:23.100
seems so light that one is in heaven.
01:08:24.300 --> 01:08:27.200
But actually one seldom Rises six feet above the
01:08:27.200 --> 01:08:27.400
ground.
01:08:53.100 --> 01:08:56.400
When you climb it, it leads
01:08:56.400 --> 01:08:59.100
you to the sky the sky is like a
01:08:59.100 --> 01:09:02.300
tree. It is formed from the branches of a huge
01:09:02.300 --> 01:09:02.700
tree.
01:09:19.100 --> 01:09:22.400
Toguna the mother shelter the house
01:09:22.400 --> 01:09:25.600
of words or the men\'s house is a reference
01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:27.400
point for every Dogan Village.
01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:33.300
The life force of the Earth is water.
01:09:36.900 --> 01:09:39.100
The remaining facade of a large
01:09:39.100 --> 01:09:42.700
house with its 18 inches home of the ancestors.
01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:02.900
reality and Truth neither relative
01:10:02.900 --> 01:10:03.900
nor absolute
01:10:05.400 --> 01:10:07.900
I can\'t take hold of it nor lose it.
01:10:08.600 --> 01:10:11.200
When I\'m silent IT projects when I
01:10:11.200 --> 01:10:12.900
project it is silent.
01:10:13.900 --> 01:10:16.800
The Calabash is a symbol of woman and
01:10:16.800 --> 01:10:18.400
the sun who is female.
01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:23.200
Signs are things that move about in the world signs are
01:10:22.200 --> 01:10:24.900
the things of all men and women.
01:10:26.300 --> 01:10:30.000
11,616 signs Express
01:10:29.300 --> 01:10:32.400
and indicate all things and beings of
01:10:32.400 --> 01:10:35.800
the universe as well as all possible situations seen
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:37.000
by the dogon mean
01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:41.300
each sign opens onto other signs
01:10:42.300 --> 01:10:45.100
each sign contains in itself a summary of the
01:10:45.100 --> 01:10:45.400
whole
01:10:46.500 --> 01:10:48.700
and a drop is the very ocean.
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:52.200
The Dogan house is said to be a model of
01:10:52.200 --> 01:10:55.800
the universe at a smaller scale and a symbolize
01:10:55.800 --> 01:10:57.700
man woman and their Union.
01:10:58.500 --> 01:11:01.300
The central room the store rooms on
01:11:01.300 --> 01:11:05.000
each side and the back room with the Hearth represent the
01:11:04.300 --> 01:11:07.900
woman lying on her back with outstretched arms
01:11:07.900 --> 01:11:10.600
ready for intercourse as
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:12.600
a communicating door stays open.
01:11:13.600 --> 01:11:16.300
The ceiling of the central room is the man and
01:11:16.300 --> 01:11:18.200
its beams his skeleton.
01:11:19.100 --> 01:11:22.300
The woman and the man\'s breath Finds Its Outlet through the
01:11:22.300 --> 01:11:23.600
opening on the roof.
01:11:52.400 --> 01:11:55.200
Listen to the ancestors breathing in
01:11:55.200 --> 01:11:57.300
the wind the fire the water.
01:11:58.100 --> 01:12:01.700
Those who are dead who are never gone who are
01:12:01.700 --> 01:12:04.000
not under the ground who are not dead.
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:07.100
They are there in the house in the
01:12:07.100 --> 01:12:10.300
crowd in a woman\'s breast in a child\'s
01:12:10.300 --> 01:12:14.200
cry in the stones trees grass
01:12:13.200 --> 01:12:16.600
in the dark that lightens in
01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:19.200
the dark the deepens in the fire that
01:12:19.200 --> 01:12:22.300
warms Burns and destroys in the
01:12:22.300 --> 01:12:25.800
water that flows in the water that stagnates the
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:27.500
dead are not dead.
01:12:44.600 --> 01:12:49.400
the ancestors
01:12:48.400 --> 01:12:49.800
room
01:12:50.400 --> 01:12:54.100
spider webs and thus have age with him bathe in
01:12:53.100 --> 01:12:56.400
the sunlight one at the other. They took
01:12:56.400 --> 01:12:59.300
turn to speak to the sun keeping in touch
01:12:59.300 --> 01:13:01.200
with it from dawn to dusk.
01:13:17.800 --> 01:13:21.000
One after
01:13:20.300 --> 01:13:23.300
the other they took turn to speak to
01:13:23.300 --> 01:13:26.600
the sun keeping in touch with it from dawn to
01:13:26.600 --> 01:13:26.800
dust.
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:44.500
The sun touches them as they ask for health
01:13:44.500 --> 01:13:45.900
and protection of the family.
01:13:54.200 --> 01:13:57.300
It is beautiful because when you enter you see there
01:13:57.300 --> 01:14:00.300
where the sun penetrates where there is light and
01:14:00.300 --> 01:14:01.400
the rest is dark.
01:14:17.500 --> 01:14:22.300
Houses with
01:14:22.300 --> 01:14:25.600
a sculptured hate on the roof are said to belong to Hunters.
01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:45.700
The supernatural
01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:48.700
term widely used in Pro scientific
01:14:48.700 --> 01:14:52.300
media is an anti-scientific invention
01:14:51.300 --> 01:14:54.400
of the West wise African
01:14:54.400 --> 01:14:55.500
men observed.
01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:03.000
it
01:15:15.400 --> 01:15:19.000
the diagnostic power of a fact oriented language
01:15:23.700 --> 01:15:26.800
the sky
01:15:26.800 --> 01:15:29.300
is a calabash the water
01:15:29.300 --> 01:15:31.500
jaw is a woman\'s womb.
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:46.000
it
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:08.700
you
01:16:18.500 --> 01:16:21.400
blindness occurs precisely during the
01:16:21.400 --> 01:16:22.700
short movement of adjustment
01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:26.600
When from full sun we step into the dim inside.
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:31.900
Abrupt transition from right to dark for a change to advance.
01:16:31.900 --> 01:16:34.200
We must go sightless time to
01:16:34.200 --> 01:16:37.400
cause an immaterial threshold that links the
01:16:37.400 --> 01:16:38.200
social to the person.
01:16:43.300 --> 01:16:46.700
The dead are not dead when night constantly floats
01:16:46.700 --> 01:16:48.000
in certain parts of the house.
01:16:56.300 --> 01:17:00.300
It never
01:16:59.300 --> 01:17:02.000
appears to me in its totality.
01:17:02.900 --> 01:17:04.300
Here a small round hole.
01:17:05.200 --> 01:17:09.200
There a calf ladder leading up to the source of light a wall
01:17:09.200 --> 01:17:12.700
another wall a bench a straw
01:17:12.700 --> 01:17:12.900
mat.
01:17:13.400 --> 01:17:14.500
her water jar
01:17:15.200 --> 01:17:18.400
a long dark room ending in several nest-like spaces
01:17:19.300 --> 01:17:21.700
the whole thing is scattered about inside me.
01:17:22.400 --> 01:17:24.800
I can only see it in fragmentary form.
01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:43.200
An act
01:17:43.200 --> 01:17:45.000
of light let\'s stay in that.
01:17:45.700 --> 01:17:48.800
makes far nearer and near father
01:17:52.700 --> 01:17:54.000
Why is it so dark?
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:57.400
Everything is at the same time transparent and
01:17:57.400 --> 01:17:57.700
opaque.
01:18:06.500 --> 01:18:09.500
You\'re reducibly complex in its simplicity.
01:18:19.200 --> 01:18:22.800
Not really a dwelling or a living space as an observer
01:18:22.800 --> 01:18:25.500
said because of the overall absence of
01:18:25.500 --> 01:18:26.300
windows.
01:18:29.100 --> 01:18:32.600
See our own idiosyncrasies as other people\'s natures.
01:18:37.500 --> 01:18:40.200
When men go hunting in parties, they know the rules of
01:18:40.200 --> 01:18:40.900
Precedence.
01:18:41.700 --> 01:18:43.900
They know him who is higher than another.
01:18:44.900 --> 01:18:48.000
They understand when one says I speak
01:18:47.600 --> 01:18:49.600
you remain silent.
01:18:51.200 --> 01:18:54.500
There are dangerous things in the bush and a small quarrel may
01:18:54.500 --> 01:18:55.400
bring many arrows.
01:19:01.200 --> 01:19:04.400
Before the hunters set forth. They were told this by
01:19:04.400 --> 01:19:06.400
the man in charge of the hunting parties.
01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:10.600
If we meet a lion, they\'d be like cold water
01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:13.400
if we meet a leopard, let it
01:19:13.400 --> 01:19:14.300
be like cold water.
01:19:15.100 --> 01:19:19.100
If we meet a snake, let it be like cold water. But
01:19:18.100 --> 01:19:21.600
if a man wishes to quarrel while out
01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:25.100
hunting that him get headache and bellyache so
01:19:24.100 --> 01:19:26.600
that he may have to return home.
01:19:38.900 --> 01:19:41.500
And Anthropologie and anthropologist.
01:19:43.300 --> 01:19:46.300
And anthropological shot one that turns people
01:19:46.300 --> 01:19:48.200
into human species.
01:19:50.700 --> 01:19:53.900
Both ancestors and children are Builders up
01:19:53.900 --> 01:19:54.900
of a compound.
01:19:56.200 --> 01:19:59.800
When a man dies his son upon sacrificing
01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:02.300
a sheep will ask this man to
01:20:02.300 --> 01:20:05.300
join his father and grandfather in guarding the
01:20:05.300 --> 01:20:06.000
house properly.
01:20:06.900 --> 01:20:09.400
When a man has no children, he is sometimes
01:20:09.400 --> 01:20:12.200
laughed at and told what are you
01:20:12.200 --> 01:20:15.300
if you were to die, they would break down your house and
01:20:15.300 --> 01:20:16.600
plant tobacco in it.
01:20:23.200 --> 01:20:27.300
Color is
01:20:26.300 --> 01:20:27.600
life.
01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:17.400
I liked without Shadow generates an
01:21:17.400 --> 01:21:18.800
emotion without Reserve.
01:21:51.300 --> 01:21:54.100
Entering and exiting as lovemaking.
01:21:55.900 --> 01:21:57.300
the door remains open
01:21:58.100 --> 01:22:00.800
for a house with a door closed is an infertile house.
01:22:03.500 --> 01:22:06.400
It Is by way of the household that the
01:22:06.400 --> 01:22:09.200
Rays of the noon Sun enter into the house to look
01:22:09.200 --> 01:22:13.100
at the family and speak with them family eats
01:22:12.100 --> 01:22:15.100
around it the food cooked and
01:22:15.100 --> 01:22:18.000
Spilled while eating are so much offered to
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:18.400
the Sun
01:22:19.300 --> 01:22:22.500
Women give birth under it to secure the sun\'s
01:22:22.500 --> 01:22:23.100
blessings.
01:22:31.500 --> 01:22:34.400
The house like a woman must have secret
01:22:34.400 --> 01:22:36.300
parts to inspire desire.
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:39.200
the womb image of the house
01:22:40.100 --> 01:22:42.300
the next lacked powers of Curves
01:23:01.100 --> 01:23:04.900
floating around
01:23:04.900 --> 01:23:07.600
in these dark spaces is the Sutter
01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:09.800
smell of clay Earth and straw.
01:23:12.200 --> 01:23:15.400
There is a saying that a man should not see all
01:23:15.400 --> 01:23:17.500
the dark corners of another\'s house.
01:23:24.400 --> 01:23:27.800
If life
01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:31.200
be called the lifeblood of a space Darkness could
01:23:30.200 --> 01:23:32.500
be called its soul.
01:23:42.900 --> 01:23:46.700
calories first
01:23:46.700 --> 01:23:48.400
and foremost a sensation
01:23:50.300 --> 01:23:51.600
here
01:24:22.500 --> 01:24:25.200
The houses I it looks out and
01:24:25.200 --> 01:24:26.600
sees like a woman.
01:24:40.700 --> 01:24:42.700
A male is buried Facing East.
01:24:43.600 --> 01:24:45.300
a female facing west
01:24:46.200 --> 01:24:49.300
a man faces Eastwood that he may know when to
01:24:49.300 --> 01:24:50.500
rise and hunt.
01:24:51.200 --> 01:24:54.500
A woman looks to the West that she may know when to
01:24:54.500 --> 01:24:56.000
prepare her husband\'s food.
01:25:14.100 --> 01:25:15.100
here you
01:25:30.300 --> 01:25:30.700
you
01:25:48.900 --> 01:25:49.100
are
01:26:24.100 --> 01:26:25.200
here
01:26:33.500 --> 01:26:36.100
the world is round.
01:26:44.400 --> 01:26:45.000
I see ejecting it.
01:27:00.500 --> 01:27:03.800
On a
01:27:03.800 --> 01:27:05.200
dorm. She is not desirable.
01:27:05.800 --> 01:27:08.600
Adornment excites love if there
01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:11.700
is a connection between ornaments and love that is
01:27:11.700 --> 01:27:14.400
because the first ornaments of all were in
01:27:14.400 --> 01:27:17.500
the center jar of the celestial Granary and
01:27:17.500 --> 01:27:20.900
that jar is the symbol of the world\'s womb.
01:27:42.500 --> 01:27:45.900
The Earth is an overturned
01:27:45.900 --> 01:27:46.600
Calabash.
01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:50.800
For the death of a man or a woman the priests
01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:53.300
sprinkles in the air Earth taken from
01:27:53.300 --> 01:27:56.900
the center of the circle formed by the Calabash while
01:27:56.900 --> 01:27:58.700
making a circle around the house.
01:29:01.600 --> 01:29:03.000
Oh hello.
01:29:31.700 --> 01:29:34.800
here you
01:29:42.200 --> 01:29:45.300
here you
01:30:14.300 --> 01:30:20.900
Here patience
01:30:19.900 --> 01:30:22.600
is one of the first rules
01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:23.600
of Education.
01:30:40.400 --> 01:30:43.500
You are here.
01:31:43.500 --> 01:31:45.900
orange and blue warmer or colder
01:31:46.500 --> 01:31:49.000
more Luminosity more presence
01:31:49.800 --> 01:31:52.700
Timing acts as a link between natural
01:31:52.700 --> 01:31:54.100
and artificial light.
01:32:12.900 --> 01:32:15.400
The earth
01:32:15.400 --> 01:32:16.900
is blue like an orange.
01:32:39.900 --> 01:32:42.300
You can\'t take
01:32:42.300 --> 01:32:44.100
hold of it, but you can\'t lose it.
01:33:00.200 --> 01:33:03.400
So, please let the smoke
01:33:03.400 --> 01:33:06.300
go and let the seed die to its outer shell.
01:33:07.500 --> 01:33:08.900
Be a stranger to myself.
01:33:12.200 --> 01:33:15.300
No matter what we call it. We
01:33:15.300 --> 01:33:16.000
will miss it.
01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:20.500
Relieved of so many words we went naked.
01:33:48.300 --> 01:34:14.900
Here you objects
01:33:53.900 --> 01:34:15.200
in
01:34:14.200 --> 01:34:16.100
her surroundings.
01:34:21.500 --> 01:34:24.300
The naming of spaces really refers to
01:34:24.300 --> 01:34:25.000
their function.
01:34:26.500 --> 01:34:29.000
It refers instead to the various parts of
01:34:29.300 --> 01:34:29.800
the human body.
01:34:33.100 --> 01:34:36.800
The house is composed like the human body the Earth
01:34:36.800 --> 01:34:39.800
or Clay is the flesh the water the
01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:42.500
blood the stones the bones and
01:34:42.500 --> 01:34:45.200
the plastered surface of the walls the skin.
01:34:56.100 --> 01:34:59.800
Son Rolling In Space the
01:34:59.800 --> 01:35:02.300
bobbing, which is wound off in spinning
01:35:02.300 --> 01:35:05.100
is the sun rolling in space.
01:35:58.900 --> 01:36:01.600
They call it giving we
01:36:01.600 --> 01:36:04.300
call itself gratification. We call
01:36:04.300 --> 01:36:07.300
it cell gratification. They call it give
01:36:07.300 --> 01:36:10.400
and take we call it take and take we call
01:36:10.400 --> 01:36:13.400
it take and take they call it generosity.
01:36:14.100 --> 01:36:16.800
We call it conditioning the biggest mind.
01:36:17.500 --> 01:36:20.100
We call it conditioning the beggar\'s mind.
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:23.500
Today to survive the poor can
01:36:23.500 --> 01:36:24.800
hardly refuse to accept.
01:36:41.300 --> 01:36:44.600
They say
01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:47.800
they don\'t give any more because we are ungrateful
01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:50.900
The Ungrateful acceptor the expecting
01:36:50.900 --> 01:36:51.700
donor.
01:36:56.100 --> 01:36:59.400
They say
01:36:59.400 --> 01:37:03.100
they don\'t give any more because we are ungrateful. We
01:37:02.100 --> 01:37:05.500
Ponder will the donor species
01:37:05.500 --> 01:37:06.000
survive.
01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:15.600
We substitute expectation for Hope and
01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:19.300
easily speak about falling short of or failing
01:37:18.300 --> 01:37:21.200
to come up to our expectations.
01:37:23.900 --> 01:37:26.900
strategies of rupture and incorrectness need
01:37:26.900 --> 01:37:27.700
some airing
01:37:28.900 --> 01:37:31.200
a cloud of oratorical precaution
01:37:32.100 --> 01:37:32.500
fear
01:37:33.500 --> 01:37:36.400
fear of making out of a crystallized eye.
01:37:37.800 --> 01:37:40.800
Any expectation even that of Peace brings
01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:41.700
restlessness?
01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:44.800
question and answer
01:37:46.200 --> 01:37:47.500
a mutual deception
01:37:55.800 --> 01:37:57.300
life underwater
01:37:58.700 --> 01:38:01.400
Never can one walk home and feel the contact
01:38:01.400 --> 01:38:03.100
of solid secure ground.
01:38:04.400 --> 01:38:07.500
Floating flowing constantly the house
01:38:07.500 --> 01:38:09.700
suspended between water and sky.
01:38:18.900 --> 01:38:22.100
What they named generosity arrogance.
01:38:22.600 --> 01:38:23.900
a mutual deception
01:38:31.800 --> 01:38:35.300
you should be able to accept with Simplicity simply
01:38:34.300 --> 01:38:35.800
accept.
01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:39.600
From we us who are
01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:42.300
neither a source of authority nor a
01:38:42.300 --> 01:38:43.500
seal of authenticity.
01:38:50.900 --> 01:38:54.300
They see
01:38:53.300 --> 01:38:56.600
no life when they look they see
01:38:56.600 --> 01:38:57.800
only objects.
01:39:03.500 --> 01:39:06.600
The dead
01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:07.900
are not dead.
01:39:10.500 --> 01:39:13.400
humble enough to accept without trying to return
01:39:16.300 --> 01:39:17.400
be a stranger to myself.
01:39:18.200 --> 01:39:20.200
And a drop is the ocean.
01:39:24.200 --> 01:39:27.300
The earth is
01:39:27.300 --> 01:39:28.600
blue like an orange.
01:39:30.100 --> 01:39:31.400
and instance freezing
01:39:32.200 --> 01:39:33.800
to believed directly
01:39:43.900 --> 01:39:46.300
silence people having faith in
01:39:46.300 --> 01:39:46.600
each other
01:40:01.300 --> 01:40:04.600
Void is
01:40:04.600 --> 01:40:07.100
always capable of being filled by solid.
01:40:08.700 --> 01:40:11.800
And I look at the Myriad of Reflections the entire
01:40:11.800 --> 01:40:12.700
Lake Within Me.
01:40:13.400 --> 01:40:14.700
Unable to quench it.
01:40:15.300 --> 01:40:16.900
Quench and endless thirst
01:40:27.800 --> 01:40:31.100
The charm of its nudity lights about
01:40:30.100 --> 01:40:33.200
desire for both Retreat and expansion.
01:40:41.700 --> 01:40:44.200
The more naked space the more it
01:40:44.200 --> 01:40:45.400
flies my imagination.
01:40:57.600 --> 01:41:00.300
Blue like an orange an orange becomes blue.
01:41:01.300 --> 01:41:02.600
Earth becomes Sun
01:41:03.400 --> 01:41:04.600
Sun becomes water
01:41:05.500 --> 01:41:07.000
water becomes sky
01:41:07.700 --> 01:41:10.200
and blue becomes orange like the Earth.
01:41:12.100 --> 01:41:18.400
here
01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:30.300
the circle is the spirit in Eternal motion.
01:42:48.400 --> 01:42:50.400
while giving there is no thought of giving
01:42:51.400 --> 01:42:53.700
while accepting there is no sort of accepting.
01:42:55.200 --> 01:42:58.400
Who could ever think of the gift as a gift that takes?
01:43:16.700 --> 01:43:19.200
Going Beyond logic to experience. What is
01:43:19.200 --> 01:43:20.700
large and what is small?
01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:36.900
clear simple irreducible complex
01:43:36.900 --> 01:43:38.400
in its simplicity
01:43:48.900 --> 01:43:50.300
to build out of dwelling
01:43:51.900 --> 01:43:54.500
a philosopher observed that man\'s
01:43:54.500 --> 01:43:56.800
homelessness consists in this
01:43:57.900 --> 01:44:00.200
That man still does not even think of the
01:44:00.200 --> 01:44:02.800
real plaque of dwelling as the plat.
01:44:14.300 --> 01:44:16.500
We dwell altogether and poetically.
01:44:17.300 --> 01:44:20.300
But dwelling can be unperetic only because it is an
01:44:20.300 --> 01:44:21.500
Essence poetic.
01:45:31.700 --> 01:45:34.400
Have you seen such a look in a
01:45:34.400 --> 01:45:35.000
child\'s face?
01:45:36.300 --> 01:45:36.600
Such a look.
01:45:53.400 --> 01:45:56.300
a Sandlot smile
01:45:56.300 --> 01:45:57.500
that sticks in your eyes
01:46:10.700 --> 01:46:14.700
you know you
01:46:44.400 --> 01:46:45.400
oh you
01:46:54.400 --> 01:46:54.600
are
01:47:00.100 --> 01:47:01.600
spirit in Eternal motion
01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:19.300
observers these
01:47:18.300 --> 01:47:21.700
people have no notion whatsoever of
01:47:21.700 --> 01:47:22.400
the private Garden.
01:47:24.100 --> 01:47:25.600
This is hardly surprising.
01:47:26.500 --> 01:47:29.400
There is no point in fainting off a piece of land as
01:47:29.400 --> 01:47:30.000
one\'s own.
01:47:31.200 --> 01:47:34.400
Their houses are situated such that wherever they
01:47:34.400 --> 01:47:36.800
wonder they only entire landscape.
01:47:40.500 --> 01:47:42.700
The Earth is an overturned Calabash.
01:47:58.200 --> 01:47:59.300
Are you?
01:48:35.500 --> 01:48:46.900
holding in
01:48:46.900 --> 01:48:50.000
their hands the community Water and
01:48:49.000 --> 01:48:50.400
Light
01:48:56.400 --> 01:48:56.600
you
01:49:00.200 --> 01:49:00.300
here
01:49:23.300 --> 01:49:26.100
People of the earth those who Serenity of
01:49:26.100 --> 01:49:29.400
understanding is the despair of bigger man.
01:49:29.400 --> 01:49:32.000
The reason two deer walked together
01:49:32.500 --> 01:49:35.300
is at one has to take the more from the other\'s eye.
01:50:09.200 --> 01:50:12.700
Life with his rhythms, and Cycles
01:50:12.700 --> 01:50:15.200
is dance and dance is life.
01:50:34.800 --> 01:50:37.500
roof in
01:50:37.500 --> 01:50:38.500
the shape of a funnel
01:50:40.100 --> 01:50:46.300
You are
01:50:45.300 --> 01:50:54.700
hey.
01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:12.800
you
01:51:34.800 --> 01:51:37.200
The diola people renowned for
01:51:37.200 --> 01:51:40.800
having raised a fierce armed resistance to the French Colonial
01:51:40.800 --> 01:51:43.100
administration at the start of the century.
01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:15.300
here
01:52:42.400 --> 01:52:42.500
here
01:52:49.700 --> 01:52:52.100
for the one who travels in this restfully green
01:52:52.100 --> 01:52:53.500
part of Senegal today.
01:52:54.700 --> 01:52:57.800
The kazimants the Dreamland of research workers
01:52:57.800 --> 01:53:00.300
and tourists alike. It is quite difficult
01:53:00.300 --> 01:53:03.200
to imagine. No Foreigner had dared to
01:53:03.200 --> 01:53:06.300
venture here without an armed escort a few decades ago.
01:53:26.100 --> 01:53:27.500
light
01:53:29.700 --> 01:53:30.100
air
01:53:31.500 --> 01:53:31.900
water
01:53:33.700 --> 01:53:34.100
Earth
01:53:35.700 --> 01:53:36.000
woman
01:53:37.800 --> 01:53:38.700
palm leaf
01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:40.800
dust
01:53:42.100 --> 01:53:42.700
children
01:53:51.200 --> 01:53:53.700
space has always reduced me to silence.
01:54:04.400 --> 01:54:08.100
you
01:54:12.600 --> 01:54:13.900
within the holy
01:54:15.200 --> 01:54:15.400
this is
01:54:21.400 --> 01:54:23.300
where
01:54:30.000 --> 01:54:30.200
okay.
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:43.800
Everybody here.
01:54:47.800 --> 01:54:49.400
Who couldn\'t be here?
01:55:02.100 --> 01:55:05.600
They can\'t really afford this they said but bought
01:55:05.600 --> 01:55:08.500
it anyway flew to Africa and waited
01:55:08.500 --> 01:55:11.300
with an anguished excitement for the paid shock
01:55:11.300 --> 01:55:12.700
of exoticism.
01:55:14.800 --> 01:55:17.500
A Jolla proverb says those who
01:55:17.500 --> 01:55:20.900
are proud of their nudity will be insolent once
01:55:20.900 --> 01:55:21.700
closed.
01:55:23.700 --> 01:55:26.600
This is
01:55:26.600 --> 01:55:27.300
not a fact.
01:55:32.100 --> 01:55:36.300
light air water people sound
01:56:02.300 --> 01:56:06.000
the impluvium
01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:09.700
A house built around an inner court with
01:56:09.700 --> 01:56:12.600
an inwardly inclined roof, and as
01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:15.200
some said a tank to catch Rainwater.
01:56:41.100 --> 01:56:41.400

01:56:53.100 --> 01:56:57.400
some call
01:56:57.400 --> 01:56:58.800
it the Senegalese, Florida.
01:56:59.600 --> 01:57:02.400
Ideal for the visitor who hangs for tropical
01:57:02.400 --> 01:57:03.800
Adventures made to measure.
01:57:08.600 --> 01:57:14.500
but you you
01:57:39.300 --> 01:57:40.800
here you
01:57:46.400 --> 01:57:48.000
life generating power
01:58:01.700 --> 01:58:04.700
A house without a fence is not a house. The old
01:58:04.700 --> 01:58:05.100
man says.
01:58:06.600 --> 01:58:09.100
Another Castle according to a tourist guide
01:58:09.100 --> 01:58:09.300
book
01:58:13.100 --> 01:58:16.300
He down
01:58:16.300 --> 01:58:17.700
up in a holla now you.
01:58:25.700 --> 01:58:32.500

communion sharing
01:58:43.700 --> 01:58:45.200
Yeah, yeah.
01:58:48.500 --> 01:58:49.900
the sun Chapel
01:58:57.500 --> 01:59:00.400
they took turn to speak to the
01:59:00.400 --> 01:59:03.700
sun keeping in touch with it from dawn to
01:59:03.700 --> 01:59:04.000
dust.
01:59:14.600 --> 01:59:15.300
I have
01:59:27.500 --> 01:59:28.700
my first new year
01:59:35.300 --> 01:59:38.300
The dead are often buried in their own rooms, which will
01:59:38.300 --> 01:59:39.400
remain locked forever.
01:59:40.200 --> 01:59:42.600
The room will crumble with time on the grave.
01:59:57.600 --> 02:00:01.900
Infinitely secure
02:00:01.900 --> 02:00:04.300
in its nudity insecure in
02:00:04.300 --> 02:00:05.500
its infiniteness.
02:00:26.700 --> 02:00:29.300
A damaged house is a damaged family
02:00:29.300 --> 02:00:33.000
very often family and house bear
02:00:32.300 --> 02:00:33.900
the same name.
02:01:48.400 --> 02:01:48.400
here
02:02:42.800 --> 02:02:45.500
femininity Water and
02:02:45.500 --> 02:02:45.900
Light
02:03:01.800 --> 02:03:03.700
an interior Court
02:03:08.700 --> 02:03:09.400
time clock
02:03:12.600 --> 02:03:14.400
the sun Chapel
02:03:16.800 --> 02:03:20.000
a reserved of air light water
02:03:24.800 --> 02:03:27.100
each woman prepares her own meal
02:03:28.100 --> 02:03:31.400
each household has its own Hearth located all around
02:03:31.400 --> 02:03:33.700
the court under the circular covered gallery.
02:03:45.000 --> 02:03:45.600
repeat
02:03:46.400 --> 02:03:48.200
a tank for catching Rainwater
02:03:57.200 --> 02:03:58.400
Plays for reunion.
02:04:02.800 --> 02:04:07.400
As well here a
02:04:05.400 --> 02:04:08.300
place for rest and
02:04:08.300 --> 02:04:09.000
conversation.
02:04:29.400 --> 02:04:30.200
only this
02:04:30.900 --> 02:04:33.500
music rests on a cord
02:04:33.500 --> 02:04:35.500
between Darkness and Light
02:05:02.700 --> 02:05:06.900
here
02:05:23.300 --> 02:05:26.300
Every religion is based on a live device
02:05:26.300 --> 02:05:29.400
or methods maybe viewed as
02:05:29.400 --> 02:05:32.500
lies and best they create a situation.
02:05:35.500 --> 02:05:41.200
here
02:06:04.800 --> 02:06:05.700
according to another well
02:06:13.300 --> 02:06:15.600
Growing up. That\'s the world.
02:06:46.200 --> 02:06:50.100
here
02:07:26.900 --> 02:07:29.100
here
02:07:56.900 --> 02:07:59.500
Read them creates a
02:07:59.500 --> 02:08:00.400
storage of energy.
02:08:04.900 --> 02:08:07.400
Eager for
02:08:07.400 --> 02:08:11.300
an indigenous answer someone walked around asking what
02:08:10.300 --> 02:08:11.900
is music?
02:08:13.200 --> 02:08:16.300
People would look at him as if he had said something funny or strange.
02:08:17.900 --> 02:08:19.500
They would laugh and say don\'t you know?
02:08:28.600 --> 02:08:29.100
here
02:08:40.200 --> 02:08:43.400
a dancer does not attract many villagers and
02:08:43.400 --> 02:08:46.700
foreigners from afar is said to turn out badly
02:08:46.700 --> 02:08:49.400
for the spirits have not come to attend it
02:08:49.400 --> 02:08:52.300
the animation of a dance is the sign of
02:08:52.300 --> 02:08:52.900
the spirit.
02:08:53.400 --> 02:08:53.800
Pres
02:08:55.900 --> 02:08:55.900
ence
02:09:31.500 --> 02:09:34.400
Don\'t send music former dialogue between
02:09:34.400 --> 02:09:35.700
movement and sound.
02:09:37.100 --> 02:09:40.200
When who hears the music understands it with
02:09:40.200 --> 02:09:40.800
her dance?
02:09:42.200 --> 02:09:45.600
The dancers do not imitate or Express the music heard.
02:09:46.500 --> 02:09:49.000
They converse with it and dance to the
02:09:49.500 --> 02:09:49.900
gaps in it.
02:09:50.700 --> 02:09:52.900
both marked and unmarked beets
02:09:54.300 --> 02:09:57.100
a different beat one that is not there.
02:09:58.300 --> 02:10:01.100
One that you add because you feel it and fit it
02:10:01.100 --> 02:10:01.300
in.
02:10:02.400 --> 02:10:03.300
your own beat
02:10:07.100 --> 02:10:08.800
your own move
02:10:09.700 --> 02:10:10.700
your own reading
02:10:41.200 --> 02:10:42.400
Oh, oh.
02:11:06.900 --> 02:11:09.600
It usually signals a wrist and his
02:11:09.600 --> 02:11:11.800
lung being forgotten as a wind instrument.
02:11:12.800 --> 02:11:15.300
The whistle here is a musical cue for
02:11:15.300 --> 02:11:15.800
change.
02:11:41.600 --> 02:11:45.000
Dramatic action is stimulated by the flute horn whistle
02:11:44.300 --> 02:11:45.800
and Bell players.
02:11:46.400 --> 02:11:50.400
Who do not form part of the drama Ensemble? They wander
02:11:49.400 --> 02:11:53.000
around the circle of dancers blowing
02:11:52.800 --> 02:11:55.600
striking a few notes on their instrument to
02:11:55.600 --> 02:11:56.400
urge them on.
02:12:16.100 --> 02:12:19.000
Oh you
02:12:26.300 --> 02:12:33.000
here you
02:13:02.900 --> 02:13:10.600
You are I
02:13:06.600 --> 02:13:11.200
drummer
02:13:10.200 --> 02:13:13.700
explains that one should not Breeze to
02:13:13.700 --> 02:13:16.400
strongly while performing if one
02:13:16.400 --> 02:13:19.300
does not want to miss the rhythmic formulas and to get
02:13:19.300 --> 02:13:20.300
tired too quickly.
02:13:21.300 --> 02:13:25.100
Once you\'re taking reserves of air during the pauses between
02:13:24.100 --> 02:13:26.100
each dance.
02:13:28.000 --> 02:13:28.400
right
02:13:57.100 --> 02:13:59.500
Every illness is a musical problem.
02:14:00.500 --> 02:14:03.300
My wrist is fast. That is not drumming.
02:14:04.200 --> 02:14:07.600
As you are beating it is your heart that is talking and what
02:14:07.600 --> 02:14:10.200
your heart is going to say your hand
02:14:10.200 --> 02:14:11.400
will collect and play.
02:14:12.500 --> 02:14:15.500
And unless you cool your heart your drumming
02:14:15.500 --> 02:14:16.200
will not stand.
02:14:17.300 --> 02:14:20.900
When your heart cools your arm will cool too. And
02:14:20.900 --> 02:14:23.000
as you are bringing your strength, you will
02:14:23.400 --> 02:14:26.800
also be leaving it at that time. The drum
02:14:26.800 --> 02:14:29.400
will cry. Well the one who has learned
02:14:29.400 --> 02:14:32.300
to play well can beat a drum the sound
02:14:32.300 --> 02:14:35.900
will spread out and you will hear it vibrating inside
02:14:35.900 --> 02:14:36.500
the ground.
02:14:37.700 --> 02:14:40.400
But the one whose heart gets up and he is beating hard.
02:14:40.400 --> 02:14:42.700
His drum will not sound.
02:15:16.300 --> 02:15:19.000
drumming has no end the drummer said
02:15:19.700 --> 02:15:22.200
No one can know everything about drumming.
02:15:23.100 --> 02:15:26.600
Everyone knows only to his extent if you
02:15:26.600 --> 02:15:29.600
know everything what are you going to do and
02:15:29.600 --> 02:15:32.600
know it in our drumming way? No, one
02:15:32.600 --> 02:15:35.700
blames another if someone doesn\'t know
02:15:35.700 --> 02:15:38.300
you don\'t say this man doesn\'t know
02:15:38.300 --> 02:15:41.300
if you say that you have the means yourself.
02:15:42.500 --> 02:15:45.600
Maybe as you say, you know, someone who knows
02:15:45.600 --> 02:15:48.200
better than you and as you are bending
02:15:48.200 --> 02:15:51.500
down looking at someone\'s anus someone is also
02:15:51.500 --> 02:15:53.400
bending down looking at yours.
