Director Statement

The new media experimental short film "Heart", the film's creativity was inspired by the concepts of "West Sussex Pushing Stone", "Mobius Ring", "Non-Ming" and "Uberosemity". Using a combination of live performance and stop shooting, a pair of bundled "lovers" redeemed each other and tells a fable about reincarnation. "Heart" represents vitality and "love", and also represents the persistence of driving reincarnation. The characters in "Heart" are set in an externalized form. "Love" makes a pair of lovers together, and they are tied up like mummies without any freedom. The "love" of each other allows them to give their lives to each other and to circulate continuously between life and death.
"Love" is a kind of attachment, but it is also a kind of motivation. Rethinking the individual's "love" is such a metabolism of sacrifice and sacrifice. Looking at the civilization of the human community, it is also difficult to move forward in the cycle.
