And the sky so present and near
And life so deep and intense
And sticks, paper, and string
as
deity, prayer, and faith

And The Sky so Present and Near was filmed during a kitebuilding workshop at the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm, which Byrne invited the public to.
The film continues an investigation and depiction of the ritual and its visual aspects.
Here the Kite symbolize man's desire to concretize the ethereal through the aesthetic.
