UNFORGETTABLE LANDSCAPE (ROWAN TREE)

Cortometraje documental

SAKAMOTO Natsumi | Japón, 2015 | 10 minutos

Inspired by her grandmother’s recollections, the artist created this documentary dealing with people’s memories of rowan trees. The tree is a wondrous plant that appears in Ainu and Scottish mythology. Individual memories fuse together, traversing the realms of fact and fiction. While tracing memories, this work examines how personal narratives provide a structure for historical narratives.

This work is part of the Program Focus in Japan, from the Japan Media Arts Festival.
