(Length: 01:56)
 


Mosteiro de Santa Clara directed by Daniel Silva found on Vimeo
 

Silva captured footage of the famous Monastery of Santa Clara in Portugal and transformed the dilapidated building into a creative masterpiece. Colourful plumes of smoke converge on walls set to the clever pluckings of Portugese Berimbau instruments. Mushroom clouds shroud plain white walls and broken windows to breathe life back into the ramshackle structure that was once full of life. If these walls could talk they would undoubtedly have plenty to say and Silva is giving Santa Clara its voice back in this video.
