Echo

Synopsis

“I held my finger between the projector and the screen and filmed while touching the projected object with the shadow of my finger. It's like playing with shadow puppets. The shadow that was originally imprinted on the film and the shadow of the finger or hand held out in front of the projector are both filmed shadows, so they are hard to distinguish. But you can't help but trying to distinguish them somehow. The inclusion of shadows that were not originally there adds a subtle flavor of fiction. I wanted to create a work that allows you to experience the textures - the texture of the water and the frog in the image, and the texture of nature made up of light, shadow and particles.” (Isao Kota)
