A dozen sequence shots set in different places – a prairie by night, the edge of a road, a courtyard enclosed by buildings, a public restroom –inhabited by human beings who look and act bizarre. These images, forming a real tableau vivant, render the sublime architecture of nature and of the city. Together with the music that is mixed with sounds (breaths, water, motors, bird calls) and through a very careful use of photography, the images create a sensorial experience transcending the use of words. “It’s a staggering experience to watch your own film for the first time. During the opening minutes, I felt like I was watching my own private cosmos. Then, after time, I had the feeling that Tejut belongs to us humans. In the last third of the film, however, I understood that this question was meaningless. There is no difference between an inner and outer world. Both are one and the same. […] I think this film quiets the mind. […] Tejut is a peculiar nature film, where instead of giraffes and penguins, we see humans.”
