Music: Anadlu by Kelly Lee Owens / Lasse Marhaug, from Kelly Lee Owens, LP.8
What do we see with closed or almost closed eyes blinking against the sun? Both seeing and breathing ("anadlu") are a matter of continuous creativity, of birth and death.
"When I close my eyes, I see my eyelids from the inside. A red of sunlight, skin and blood. Worm-like shapes, shadows and patterns drift on the retina like on water. A continuous stream of moving images. They cannot be focused or fixed. It flows without my intervention and yet I can control it. Like every breath that connects what is inside and outside me."
