Responed to Felix in Exile



This film is consists of large-scale drawings in charcoal and pastel on paper. The images are instantly melting and altering. This transition reminds me the memory, which William Kentridge might want to metaphor with this style. In this animation. He uses a lot of papers, which cover the bleeding corpse regularly. Some people who are tied walk though the landscape. They look upset through the telescope. The naked man sitting in the room has connection with the woman, who finally dead and bleeding as same as other dead people on the ground. The water appears everywhere. For me, the water saves the man from drown in his room though it turns into blood in the end. The woman is like the seer. She is wise and perceptive. We are watching through her eyes, her angles. The man frequently thinks of this woman. She appears in water, mirror and papers. She is the man's eyes. The man needs her to see the world since he has nothing and is in an airtight room. When the woman die, the man also lose his eyes. Hence he is blocked in a small pool forever.
