Synopsis
Hybrid short film that transforms the physical properties of Super 8mm film into multi-layered moving images. Through macro and close-up shots, the film captures the subtle transmission of life and energy between plants, water, and light during springtime in northeastern America. Through digital post-production, the film weaves together the ethereal qualities of nature with intimate body performance. The film perforations become miniature frames, creating tiny windows that house paintings and micro-videos. Within these windows, each subtle movement of the body performer, like spring breeze caressing, engages in a silent dialogue with the surrounding plants. The experimental approach extends to the margins of the film—where key codes beyond the perforations, typically used for frame-by-frame specific identification, transform into concrete poetry. The verses appear as casual murmuring across the film, carrying a sense of introspection and reflection.
