An van. DIENDEREN / 2015 / digital / 9min. (Belgium)
　
LETTER HOME is a film letter – without the use of narration – in which the touristic images of the artist’s trip to Japan are digitally distorted. The basic strategy of this type of digital corruption is copying, which is used in the film to challenge the western perception of Japan as a ‘copying culture’. The sound, by contrast, is not corrupted, thus it helps in structuring the abstract and chaotic images and invites the viewer to project his or her own memories and sensations on it. LETTER HOME wants to combine aspirations of both the touristic image hunter and the media-archeologist so as to give full expansion to the sensations produced by the digitally distorted and materialistically manipulated images and realistic sounds. LETTER HOME is made as a diptych with CHERRY BLOSSOMS, which was awarded and presented at such festivals as Fid Marseille, IFFR, Oberhausen, Festival des Femmes Le Créteil, etc.
