Born in Marseille in 1970, Mahadev (aka Patrice BURKI) started studying music, poetry and architecture. He spent most of his career writing songs and performing in Europe. He developed photos skills as he was living in a yoga ashram in London. After he directed few videos for his own songs he decided to create a first movie project whilst he was accompanying a group of french students in Australia during summer 2016. He is still a beginner quiet lucky to have completed his dream : making a poetic film.
This film was made thanks to a good serendipity and the result of a long process of songwriting, yoga practice and drawings. When I started to film the first footage I didn't know what I wanted to tell. But I try to rely on intuition and dreams to find inspirational material.Maybe it is nothing but an attempt to know who I really am. Anyway the Astral world remains an enigma and songwriting a blessing for a solitary artist.
