FILM TRILOGY - 3
TILL ASHES TURN INTO PINES
This experimental short film is about the inarticulacy of deep connections between matter, different life forms and humans. Derived from the relationship between elderly women and the pinewoods that they take care of and depend on in the context of an ordinary Chinese village, the film explores how fragility, reciprocity and reincarnation are embedded in the everyday moments.
Under the framework of Ripple Ripple Rippling, this last piece of the film trilogy embraces the frictions between architectural, anthropological, choreographic and cinematic perspectives. If ethnography is intrinsically fragmented, then juxtaposition as a method to process fieldwork offers a structure that can host gaps and contradictions without falling apart. Daring to break with the kind of linear, defined narrative, foregrounded are plural imaginations and affective attunement.
