Photodiary '87

1987

I turned my gaze to the various events in daily life and made this filmic diary in a manner as if confessing my feelings. Of course, since I was making the film, I wanted to depict these feelings and events with tricky techniques. I used various methods to shoot photographs of a relative's wedding, the landscape I see from window of my house, commemorative travel photographs and the like frame-by-frame.

In the unearthly world of E, hand-made meets hi-tech as characters appear to consume one another with their own, trafficked likenesses.
