Synopsis

This is an early masterpiece of TEZKA Macoto’s experimental films with copies of photos used to create a complicated animation.

Program Note

This animation repeatedly replicates photographs instead of hand-drawn animation. In transforming the images into a symmetrical composition, the director created striking montages. The music was composed by musician Tsuchiya Masami, who also worked with Duran Duran. It was invited to the London, Hong Kong and other international film festivals. (HONG Sanghyun)
