In the morning of a rainy day I was at the veranda of my house in Ubud, in the very heart of Bali. Lying among comfortable thick and soft feather cushions reading Sherwood Anderson’s book Winesburg, Ohio. I could listen only the sounds of singing birds and rainy water falling on palm shining leaves. Then I saw Komang climbing a nearby trunk of coconut tree. My camera was within one’s reach. Komang did not notice I was recording him. He was too busy on harvesting coconuts up there. This is a video with nothing else than a Balinese young man harvesting coconuts on a rainy day in Bali island. My first video at Vimeo. I hope not the last (and not the best).

Technical descriptions: Recorded by digital still camera Sony Cyber-shot HX5V. Original file m2ts. Shooted without tripod.

Oitant que és una joia! El professor Colomer sempre recomana bones lectures. Llegit a Bali, als antípodes del món que reflecteix el llibre. Ja va bé que sigui així. Molts escenaris fan un món. Ser capaços de mouren’s per escenografies canviants. Però una al cap, la nostra. La qüestió és si la d’abans o la que ha quedat després de diluïr-se. Pot haver-hi reconciliació amb el desastre? Seria bonic poder reescriure sense errades. Professor Colomer, ara acabo d’entrar a casa després de donar un tomb pel “meu” poble. Colonització culminada.
