Born in Gunsan and After Seven Years, I Was Repatriated to Japan... (2023)
• September 15th, 2023 • 3h 59min
Documentary
Overview
A bamboo forest becomes a city with bustling streets that then smoothly transform into photographs: never really in focus, ever more fragmentary and blurred. Born in Gunsan and after seven years, I was repatriated to Japan… begins as a formidable exercise in fūkei-ron, only to turn into a meditation on what remains of the past, with worlds, eras and personal views colliding.
