Roads of Kiarostami

00:00:13 Road of Kiarostami

00:05:27 contemplating my surroundings and spending time by myself.

00:05:49 with a simple cameral I recorded some of those moments

00:06:14 Perhaps I can say when - from the beginning of my photography -

00:06:30 of roads, tracks and paths.

00:06:46 that time, since subconsciously the form

00:07:07 images from the search for life

00:07:33 The images appears frequently in classical Persian literature.

00:08:02 Moonlight shining on a path it cares not to follow

00:08:24 Each route carries travellers who

00:08:56 there is no one with me on this road, no one will come.

00:13:45 From the first he had borne within him a great sorrow which made him flee

00:14:03 A great grief settled on him

00:14:19 'Something has come over me. I know of no way through it

00:14:37 that he must set out down the road

00:14:56 The road was continuous, without end

00:15:17 People are like ants, in search of their daily bread

00:15:39 down which he is endlessly searching for meaning.

00:15:56 a path leading to a garden, the shade of a tree, a spring in rocky ground

00:18:56 whoever neglecls his pack animal will never reach his journey's end

00:19:17 and the paths we draw on the earth are like scratches upon it

00:19:36 ways of escape

00:19:55 The road is man's confession of the places he id fleeing from

00:20:15 sometimes without conclusion sometimes victorious.
