Impressions from Nepal - The Walk to Shivas Temple
The nature of existence is questioned through paradoxical inquiry. The state of being alive is examined and directly negated. This inquiry arises from a playful dialogue, yet points to a serious contemplation. The apparent contradiction serves to dissolve fixed concepts. The declared spiritual topic stands apart from the conversational fragments. The discourse concludes with traditional salutations and an external observation, not a summary. The core investigation remains: what is life when its certainty is withdrawn?
"We are alive, we are not alive. No, we are not alive."
"Are we dead?"
Filming locations: Pokhara, Himalayas, Nepal.
