OTHERWORLD - OURWORLD Death Vlei Desert Dance Namibia (Otherworld Journeys by Rebecca Sommer)

(Video © Sommerfilns, by REBECCA SOMMER) This video was filmed in the heart of the oldest desert of the world. This video is an except of Rebecca Sommer's "Otherworld Journeys" series art project, filmed in the Namib Desert. This mud pan surrounded by an ocean of red dunes was created by a river that flows through the Namib Dessert every 10 years or so. Even in very wet years the river does not reach the Atlantic Ocean but drains away between the dunes of Sossusvlei. Sossus means "place of no return". The location of this video-clip is called Death Vlei - after some 1000 years the river searched its way through the next row of dunes. This is how the place called Dead Vlei was created, here the river used to drain away many years ago. Because of the lack of water all the trees in this valley have died, so the meaning of "Dead Vlei" becomes clear. What makes the sight of the Dead Vlei so remarkable is that there is not even moisture enough for normal decomposition to occur. So all the trees here, though dead, have been nearly perfectly preserved for centuries. #rebeccasommer #sommerrebecca #rebecca_sommer_sommerfilms
