An intimate documentation about space and memory. Drawing inspiration from traveling in different cities around the globe, the work invites viewers to slip into a person's consciousness and experience the relationship between one's inner and outer worlds. While the surroundings constantly shift, their mind also goes through a series of transformations.
Artist's Statement
Through animated exploration, the work delves into the intricate interplay of space and memory, inviting viewers to immerse in the shifting landscapes of consciousness. Inspired by global travelling and artistic practices, I aim to
capture the essence of fleeting moments and the enduring imprints that artists leave behind when they move around for work. By intertwining inner and outer worlds, it illuminates the profound connections between personal
experiences and the ever-evolving tapestry of existence.
Juror's Comment
This film is a visual feast of choreography and abstract imagery. Yet, the stream-of-consciousness monologue portrays a state of mind that at times stand in stark contrast to the visuals. (Yu Ka Ho)
