A series of videos on love
The second video in our series “Conversation” tells a story of loss and longing. It contemplates why we can or cannot finally let go what we hold dear.
Just like memory maps our identity, it asks how time feels to a ruminating goat. Inspired by Borge’s poem “The Keeper of the Books”, the video takes an unexpected turn as Asef recounts his personal memories of his father and compares him with the poem’s narrator that says:
“In my eyes there are no days. The shelves
stand very high, beyond the reach of my years,
and leagues of dust and sleep surround the
tower.
Why go on deluding myself?
The truth is that I never learned to read,
but it comforts me to think
that what’s imaginary and what’s past are the
same.”
