A Torre [The Tower] is a project produced with materials collected during the production of the feature film Extinction (2015), directed by Salomé Lamas and produced by O Som e a Fúria (PT), in co-production with Mengamuk Films (DE). Maybe Kolja’s experiment of merging his body (human) with the tree (nature) venturing into a border zone between the earth and the sky is due to his purity of spirit, to the grandeur of the idiots, or the foolishness of the mystics; or is it all this together? Maybe it is a symptom of the enlightened – or simply an elaborated suicide.

‘None of the people who were asked about me had seen me.’ Le Boudin documents the encounter of the young Elias Geißler with the testimony of Nuno Fialho who at the age of 16 was forced to enlist in the French Foreign Legion. ‘I didn’t enlist. They enlisted me.’

In late 2011 I arrived in Sete Cidades, Azores. I recalled Kant’s ideas on the sublime. We experience the sublime when our imagination fails to comprehend the greatness of natural events, in the process of determining concepts of understanding, but supplants this failure with a delight stemming from its ability to grasp these aspects of nature by virtue of an idea of reason. That idea appropriates the supersensible and human moral nature. To experience the sublime sensibility, a body, being human and being finite are preconditions. Was it a lack of sensibility?While filming I felt the urge to formalize landscape through language games. It is the sight that makes things valuable. Encounters with Landscape 3x happens to be this exercise. Landscape becomes a dangerous playground.When one is young one is daring and stupid, you grow older and you tend to lose the daringness and get less stupid. We change the rules as we go along.
