'Now tell me, What do you think you were when you were not yet in soul and body? Truly you do not know how you were created. But now you wish to investigate heaven and earth...'
Scivias, Vision 2, Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)
Information
CloseThe film-maker is pregnant. Is that normal or very extraordinary, after all.
The View is a fragile yet powerful poem in black & white. The film describes natural processes that are regarded as mystical in a time of dominant science and technology. The narration is from the book Scivias, the second vision, of Hildegard of Bingen.
