If These Walls Could Talk

Ever wondered, ‘What if graffiti could move?’ Daniel Silva’s short video Mosteiro de Santa Clara answers that question as walls and rooms come to life with exuberant colours moving in elegant smoke patterns. (Length: 01:56)

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.
