DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

and are two films based on some renovation of abandoned spaces, which amounts to a very short script based on the space, and I have also combined some stories of wanderings of those ancient people, or some stories of wanderings they heard, with this modern state between the city and the countryside.Personally, I am very interested in what has been forgotten, or marginalised. I was also thinking about, for example, the most important moments within our so-called lives, which we certainly all make it easy to talk about in a big way, but shouldn’t those tiny moments be watched? I think all moments of life should be equal, so I wanted to capture these moments that may not mean much in themselves, but do touch us. Like the relationship between space and image, and some states of light and time flow.
