Experiencing Interruptions?

CONGRATULATIONS

A 16mm analog film that raises a dark, sarcastic indictment against humanity through hand-painted, haunting narratives. The creeping despair and cynicism permeating our modern existence unfold poetically – "Your epitaph will be scribbled in crayons on a scorching sidewalk. Congratulations."

Director Statement

As a filmmaker, I juxtapose the haste of visual culture with deliberate deceleration. My works reflect contradictions in image production, offering critical impulses for exploring visual aesthetics and cultural temporality.
