lost memory ©2016 Mark Tang aka TangMan
remember those times, the two of us
we were so close, why has it changed
why is it lost for you and me
remember how we played as children
in the garden of our families
forgotten, the weeds have gone wild
gone wild as a lost memory

Benji Kaplan hears and reproduces nature in “A Gente Se Manifesta”
Music video extracted from the álbum Uai Sô (2016) directed and Photographed by Rita Figueiredo.
Nature allows you to familiarize yourself and explore space. Outside the areas occupied by skyscrapers, dwellings, factories and infertile lands, contact with what man has not interfered with raises an expression that requires another language.
Musically, it has flutes, clarinets, violins, cello and viola that, dynamically, dialogue with the immensity of nature's pure air.
Transitions

Runtime 15:32
Completion Date: December 16, 2016
This film was shot in The Monastery of Batalha, a world heritage site that is a wonderful piece of architecture, still unfinished and an inspirational locus for filming as a reflection of moving images. The film happens in the threshold between the material and the intangible as it asks for the viewer's unique perception and emotional engagement with what is (not) happening in the narrative. The video is at odds with the tendencies in video art and it deals mostly with time, a slow time that gets the viewer deep into images and possible meanings and feelings. The non- linear narrative breaks into fragments but to evoke the imaginary, something that moves us but we can't necessarily grasp and explain. In a way, it's a metaphysical experience as well and not a film to excite senses and provoke stimuli in a fast pace. Technology brings up this paradox too: the most contemporary can also be the most anachronic object as it never ends or closes meanings. Each viewer can create his own path as he /she creates his own time for meditation and enlightenment.
The musical score was built to evoke both worlds, one as the reflection of the other: the surface and the deep in kind of sound and image alchemy. Loops are horizontal (moving images) and vertical (perception/ film and viewer relationship) expansions of subjectivity and experience.
