J'ai accompagné Léo Coulongeat pendant deux semaines pour documenter son travail photographique dans le désert de Namibie. Nous avons exploré les régions de Hardap et Karas, où se trouvent les plus grandes dunes de sable au monde ainsi que le célèbre village abandonné de Kolmanskop, où le sable envahit peu à peu les maisons par les fenêtres. Nous avons observé près de 50 espèces animales différentes, dont la plupart pour la première fois, et avons été émerveillés à plusieurs reprises par les paysages majestueux qui s'étendent à perte de vue. Les photographies de Léo Coulongeat en Namibie sont disponibles dans son livre 'Déserts' des éditions Chêne.

"The only way out is through." - Robert Frost 'Ascend' is the journey back home of an incarnated soul from its awakening to its ascent. It describes as much an individual process of ascending than the collective energy we are going through as a humanity. Re-membering who we are. Rising out of separation. Reclaiming our power. This film shows a journey to finding God within. As she progresses on her path, she encounters a variety of emotional and sensual experiences, as many ego deaths and rebirths, shattering of the self and integration of lost pieces - taking her each time a bit closer to her true essence, peeling layers for her heart to rejoice. She follows the Light until she becomes It. 'Ascend' is a raw expression of humanness. It is an ode to Nature. A dance with the elements. A celebration of Life in its purest form. A radical acceptance of what is, surrendering to a higher intelligence, inviting Magic. It shows the beauty in pain, the light in darkness, the release in a storm. It is a tale about trust and the courage to keep going. It is a piece about faith and acceptance. 'Ascend' is a film about reclaiming individual sovereignty. Text by IRIS JOHNER
