The main motif of this film is the musical instruments used in traditional Myanmar music.
I was fascinated by the unique melody of Myanmar music after watching a documentary film introducing ethnic music. However, there are not many opportunities to experience the culture of Myanmar, where the situation is unstable.
In this film, I wanted to show cultural cross-border and exchange by depicting ethnic music instruments flying in the sky. At the same time, I attempted to express the image of destruction and violence by applying foil on the screen in places, which discolored due to the corrosion effect. In addition, the oil paint was dissolved with a release agent, and drawings were made with a pen on the exposed base. The pen drawings are of people in grief and anguish, taken from Western paintings.
The mixture of enchanting folk music imagery and visions of destruction depict the current state and history of cultural exchange and constant conflict on a global scale.
