NR 10 min
A transcendental meditation on withered trees struggling to be reborn A fleeting glimpse into the seemingly trivial occurrences of daily life A sheer ecstasy of physical intimacy viewed through celluloid films in which the life of the emulsion is decaying during the lockdown film footages were disinfected by disinfectant surface cleanser and hand sanitiser gel specifically household chemicals which were alleged to kill 999 of bacteria and viruses and which helped us prevent the spread of coronavirus Returning images that have shapes to the shapeless in the physical fragility of the cinematic medium allows for the viewers hallucinatory perception of matter in a state of continual creation and dissolution
DirectorWilliam Hong-xiao Wei
