2014 / 8mm / color / 100 min.
An art project that could be considered a life’s work, I have continued making it as a “ripening film” for thirty years since 1985. The history of the fictional planet “TEトLA” is told in images shot on 8mm film. I appear together with myself from thirty years ago. I remake it for each screening, so precisely the same content can never be seen twice. For this screening I use 8mm film, and have added live performance elements including sound and reading aloud.
