Morning, 2009 (excerpt)
Running time: 1:33 minutes / HD / colour
In the distance of a dark long tunneled Kasbah road we see an opening with light – the silhouette of a woman with a child on her back emptying a pail of water appears from light and disappears into light.
Location: The entrance to the mellah (the Jewish quarter in Amzrou), a kasbah in Southern Morocco.
Camera: Sylvia Safdie
Editing: Patrick Andrew Boivin, Sylvia Safdie
Audio: Silent
a young man announces
“this is the entrance to the Mellah”
the Jewish quarter
but they are gone”
a square patch of light
at the other end of the tunnel,
masks
the dance of a woman with a child on her back
holding a bucket
in a splash
she disappears
