Sound of Prayer is a 90 minute visual and auditory documentary art film which explores and contemplates how Prayer is felt, heard, gifted and presented within the human imagination and creative expression.
Without the sacred there would be no distinction between inner space and outer space. The threshold of light and dark would not exist within our imagination to express birth and death… Ying and Yang… reality and the spirit.
The ephemeral as a practice becomes worship, it becomes the space we call prayer.
Prayer is the human practice of connection to that we can only imagine, decorate, inspire, create and mythologise. These imaginary thresholds and human generated physical borders, give us a sense of human relationship to what could be an unlimited expanse.
Prayer cradles a sense of belonging, and makes meaning of our connectivity to that which we cannot explain through our external perceptions, an inner experience expressed outwardly. Prayer may be a doorway to what we call the spirit, yet it also defines our desire to see ourselves within and externally to, the connectivity of our existence.
Sound of Prayer’ does not judge, justify or label any given faith, rather it will map, collate and expand the narrative of the human action within the multiple theatrics and devotions of the practice of ‘Prayer’.
Sound of Prayer will encapsulate the sheer magnificence and beauty of civilisation, creativity, art and our relationship to nature. A film that embodies our architecture, movement, words and costume. A glorious exploration from birth to death… light to dark… internal to external. A collective of flow within the silent, the spoken, the revelation, the celebration of our want to connect, bathed in the richness of symbols, culture and identity.
Sound of Prayer the film is a dance, a river, a breath — a meditation of such wonders of the human spirit, an organised and precise visual poem!
