Samsara
Fricke's non-verbal visual meditation uses time-lapse and slow-motion to explore the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth across 25 countries. Through imagery of nature, humanity, industry, and spirituality, it creates a contemplation on existence. The film is pure visual philosophy about the interconnection of all things.
