Hunting

“Hunting” is a digital fashion short film set against the backdrop of medieval churches and theaters. The film eschews traditional narrative in favor of a miniature theatrical performance. The costumes blend Gothic and futuristic styles, emphasizing an exploration of non-traditional beauty and the expression of personal solitude. Conceptually, the film portrays the hypocritical side of human thought, depicting a scene where those who fall from grace are either captured or besieged by sharp swords. The film’s props also symbolize control and hunting. The soundtrack features Antonio Vivaldi’s “Winter” concerto, which evokes a hunting scene in a snow-covered forest, where the identities of hunter and prey become blurred within the white mist. “Hunting” immerses the audience in a world of fog and shadows, inviting them to reexamine their own existence and struggles within an extreme aesthetic experience.
